High court has dismissed a case filed by council of governors who had moved to court challenging the new election law.
Justice Chacha Mwita has said that the case lacks merits and that the council of governors has failed to prove that Section 28 of the elections Act No 24 of 2011 as amended by the provisions of the Elections Amendment Act 2017 of the constitution infringes their rights.
The governors had argued in their petition that the said the law contains a problematic unconstitutional section that bars party hopping as far as 120 days to the polls.
