MDC-T 'rebels' get reprieve

The 21 MDC Renewal Team expelled from Parliament yesterday when Chief Justice Godfrey Chidyausiku ruled that their Constitutional Court application challenging their dismissal from the august House was urgent.

Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda recently declared the 21 seats vacant after the MDC-T advised Parliament that the MPs were no longer its members as they had crossed the floor and formed the MDC Renewal Team.

The party's spokesperson Jacob Mafume yesterday confirmed that the matter had been ruled as urgent.
