Arusha. The High Court at the Songea Sub-Registry in Ruvuma Region has struck out an election petition challenging the parliamentary victory of Tunduru South MP Fadhili Chilombe after finding that the petitioners failed to comply with mandatory requirements on security for costs within the prescribed timelines.

Mohamed Rais and Odax John filed an election petition No. 29982/2025 against the Tunduru South Constituency Returning Officer, the area MP Fadhili Chilombe, and the Attorney General.

The petition challenged the results of the 2025 General Election in which Mr Chilombe was declared the winner of the Tunduru South parliamentary seat.
