The Supreme Court of Appeal has dismissed an electoral petition filed by Bright Msaka, who was contesting the parliamentary victory of Honorable Tulinje Muluzi for the Machinga Likwenu Constituency.
Msaka approached the court seeking to challenge the election results that declared Muluzi the winner. Following deliberations, the appellate court ruled the application lacked merit, striking it out and ordering Msaka to cover the legal expenses associated with the case.
This ruling, which includes an order for costs, signifies that Msaka must bear the financial burden of the proceedings. As the decision was handed down by the nation’s highest judicial body, it is final and binding, bringing a definitive end to the legal dispute over the constituency’s seat.
