WATCH – MDC Alliance youths stage flash demo demanding by elections

HARARE - The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has reinstated the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Member of Parliament Constance Chihota (CCC) following a High Court order.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) is facing pressure to address the controversial remarks made by General Anselem Sanyatwe, the Commander of the Zimbabwe National Army, at a Zanu PF rally in Nyanga North constituency. Sanyatwe's statements, which vowed that Zanu-PF would remain in power "until donkeys grow horns" and threatened to use "command voting" to ensure the party's continued dominance, have sparked outrage among opposition parties and civic organizations. In a letter to ZEC Chairperson Justice Priscilla Chigumba, lawyer and human rights advocate Thabani Mpofu demanded that the commission publicly refute Sanyatwe's assertion and assure the public that they are not complicit in undermining the popular will.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec)’s credibility has plunged to a new low — hitting rock-bottom in the abyss of dishonour — as its officials scramble to contain the damaging fallout from the corrupt US$40 million tender scandal which has exploded with dramatic revelations and far-reaching consequences.

HARARE - Zimbabwe's main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, has praised South Africa's recent elections as an "exemplary" model of free and fair elections, drawing comparisons with Zimbabwe's disputed August 2023 elections.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has re-appointed Priscilla Chigumba as chairperson of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) despite presiding over chaotic elections last year that were condemned by the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
