Emmanuel Khamala moved to the High Court on Thursday evening in a bid to stop the Linda Mwananchi Movement National Delegates Conference, scheduled to commence at 8am on Friday, November 13, just hours after the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal rejected his earlier application to block the meeting.
Acting through lawyer Danstan Omari, Khamala filed an urgent appeal challenging the ruling by Political Parties Disputes Tribunal chairperson Innocent Muganda, who dismissed his attempt to suspend the conference and questioned the legality of changes to The Equitable Party's leadership and name.

He further argued that any further delay in accessing the ruling risked rendering his intended appeal worthless, since the conference could proceed before the High Court had an opportunity to intervene.
