On February 22nd the nine parties declared their intention to appeal to the Supreme Court by mid-March. The president of the Rally for Democracy and Progress, Hidipo Hamutenya, expressed the parties' confidence that the case would lead to a different conclusion "when it is properly presented and heard". Mr Hamutenya's confidence appears to be based on an amplified notice of motion filed by the parties on January 14th 2010-ten days after the initial High Court application. The motion was discounted in the latest judgment as materially the same. However, the Court did say that an augmented set of supporting affidavits accompanying the motion, which provided better evidence of alleged irregularities, would if taken into account have "enlarged the applicants' cause of action".
