Most importantly, a judicial challenge attacking the credibility of an election is especially important as it is a vanguard of the people’s vote and a measurement of the quality of the disputed election. Therefore, the essence and efficacy of judicial challenges must be narrowly interrogated to secure the citizens’ fundamental political rights as enshrined in the Declaration of Human Rights in the Constitution. A presidential petition is a special opportunity where the Constitutional Court is invited to witness alleged violations of the people’s right to vote and an alleged violation of people’s right to elect a President, for all executive authority is derived from the people of Zimbabwe. The people of Zimbabwe in turn, must be allowed to not only vote but to protect their vote if it is suspected that is has been tempered with, through a judicial challenge in the Constitutional Court. In fact, there is no legal proceeding which is more far-reaching in its effects, which excites a greater amount of animosity, personal feeling and hostility than an election petition.
