Senate VS Political Parties Dispute Tribunal

I have considered the applicant's application dated 6 August 2024 filed under a certificate of urgency of even date and also under this Honourable Court's Vacation Rules. Considering that the dispute in question is before the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal and that it is set for mention next week 15 August 2024, I see no urgency in the present application. Most likely the Tribunal will give directions on the timelines for the resolution of the dispute when it will be mentioned on 15 August 2024. Nevertheless, leave is granted to the applicant to file the substantive motion in terms of prayers 2(a) and (b) of the chamber summons. The substantive motion shall be filed and served within 7 days of the date of this ruling. The respondents and interested parties shall file and serve their response within 7 days of the date of service of the applicant's motion. Considering that the dispute on the selection panel is before the political parties disputes tribunal, I see no reason for leave to operate as stay. I direct that the substantive motion be mentioned on 30 September 2024 purposes of taking directions on it is hearing. It is so ordered.
