The High Court on 19 January, issued an order barring 23 recalled CCC members from the ballot for the coming by-election, declaring their nominations null and void.
Inevitably, Zanu pf now takes the lead with five council seats where it is uncontested.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has announced that the ZANU PF Candidates contesting in Chiredzi Town Council (Ward 6 and 7) two in Harare (Ward 5 and 18) and one in Manyame Rural District Council (Ward 7) are declared duly elected.
This disqualification came after the Sengezo Tshabangu the CCC interim secretary general submitted an application- HCH197/24- seeking to bar the names of 23 Candidates who were recalled as CCC MPs or Councillors last year November – for the by-elections set for Ferbuary 3. 2024.
It looks like yet another disaster of a by-election for the CCC opposition party.
