NA spokesperson Sakeus Kadhikwa confirmed this development on Thursday.

“I have been directed to inform that deputy chief justice Petrus Damaseb has designated deputy judge president of the High Court Shafimana Ueitele to administer the oath or solemn affirmation for Mushelenga,” the letter reads.
