ACT-Wazalendo Challenges Mpina’s Disqualification at the High Court

The High Court began hearing the case challenging the disqualification of ACT Wazalendo’s presidential candidate, Luhaga Mpina. The party brought the case forward on the grounds that the Registrar’s rejection was unlawful and a violation of democratic rights. Some of the preliminary arguments will address whether the disqualification was legally justified or an administrative overreach that exceeded constitutional limits. The outcome of this case could be crucial to Mpina’s reinstatement in the presidential race ahead of elections on October 29, 2025.
