The High Court Wednesday reserved judgment in an urgent chamber application filed by the MDC Alliance seeking to bar recently reinstated secretary general, Douglas Mwonzora from recalling its legislators from Parliament.

The Thokozani Khupe-led MDC faction represented by Lovemore Madhuku argued in court that the MDC-A's application lacked merit for it to be treated as urgent.

Madhuku told the court a political party had no legal interest to speak on behalf of MPs as they are sworn into office on the strength of the country's Constitution and pledged allegiance to the people as opposed to political parties.

He went on to dismiss the application for lacking merit as the applicants ignored the existence of a recent Supreme Court judgment which assigned Khupe to take over leadership of the MDC-T as acting president pending the holding of an extraordinary congress.

Furthermore, this matter can only be dealt with at the Constitutional Court because the High Court has no authority to interfere with Parliament's business," Madhuku said.
