Court rules in favour of UB UDC

Ten UB Umbrella for Democratic Change (UB UDC) SRC members had contested Kgosiekae’s decision to issue an election writ and appoint a chief election officer. The applicants took the UB SRC, Kgosiekae and Moteti to court seeking an interim order that would compel them to retract Kgosiekae’s decision to issue an election writ and appoint a chief electoral officer  prior to the UB SRC April 13, 2016 elections.

Representing the respondents was Precious Ramaja who said they did not contest the applicant’s argument that the election writ be retracted and a constitutional meeting be held to appoint the chief electoral officer.
