Fifteen opposition MPs in Zimbabwe have filed a court appeal saying they were tricked into losing their parliamentary seats.
The losses came after a man falsely claiming to be the party’s secretary said the MPs were no longer members.
On receipt of the fake letter, Zimbabwe’s parliamentary speaker declared the 15 seats vacant.
Resultant by-elections could hand ruling party Zanu-PF the majority it needs to amend the constitution.
