The High Court has dealt a significant blow to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) by refusing to suspend a decision that declared the expulsion of former nominated senator Gloria Orwoba unprocedural. In its ruling, the court found that the ruling party failed to prove it would suffer any substantial loss if the decision remained in force. The judge noted that without demonstrating such a loss, there was no justification for granting a stay of execution pending UDA’s intended appeal. UDA had moved to the High Court seeking to put the tribunal’s findings on hold while they appealed the ruling.
