Defence lawyer, prosecutor clash over Biti case
Desmond Chingarande ·
MDC Alliance vice-chairperson Tendai Biti’s lawyer, Alec Muchadehama, yesterday clashed with the prosecutor over the State’s plans to proceed with the trial of the Harare East MP despite a pending High Court application for review of the matter.
Biti is facing charges of violating the Electoral Act after he allegedly announced that MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa had won the July 30 presidential poll.
He is also facing another charge of border jumping.
