The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has called for the disbandment of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) and the holding of a fresh harmonised election supervised by international observers.
Addressing journalists in Harare on Tuesday, CCC deputy spokesperson Gift “Ostallos” Siziba said the plebiscite held last week which resulted in ruling Zanu-PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa winning the presidential race was flawed and should be declared null and void.
Mnangagwa won with 52,6% against CCC leader Nelson Chamisa’s 44%.
The Southern African Development Community (SADC), African Union (AU), European Union (EU) and the United States (US) observers, in their preliminary reports, concluded that Zimbabwe’s 2023 election was not free and fair.
CCC wants a new election that will be supervised by international observers to be instituted as soon as possible. The party rejected Mnangagwa’s win and called for the dissolution of ZEC.
“The solution is to have a fresh, free, fair and credible election. The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission failed in the following respect; it failed the credibility, transparency and the professional tests,” Siziba said.
“Therefore, ZEC failed its fidelity to the Zimbabwean Constitution and it must be disbanded. A credible and professional player scaffolded by regional and international players is the only way to have a free, fair and credible election in Zimbabwe.
“Zimbabweans across the political divide have this particular consensus, have the conversation with members of the church, talk to the clergy, have the conversation with members of the civil society whose facilitation of having a parallel voter tabulation, despite the commitment by ZEC had their offices being raided.
“So, that is a sign that Zimbabweans across walks of life have this consensus at this particular moment.”
CCC also wants all willing candidates to be allowed to contest in the Election including former cabinet minister Saviour Kasukuwere who was removed from the ballot by the High Court because he was not in the country for more than 18 months.
The party did not indicate if it will approach the country’s courts.

I feel sorry for Zimbabwe people, missed opportunity. They missed it during Morgan, they missed it this time around… Ndale zake same same SA… Thinking no other party. Malawians zopusa timachosa, tichosa. Zambia anachosa…

Saidi Dambo yes Malawi anachosadi and things are worse than we anticipated… But that can not be a good example for Zimbabwe… Probably Zimbabwe would have borrowed a leaf from Zambia… Anasintha, things are improving!!

Prove that you won first , produce v11s, activate the strategic ambiguity to defend the elections you were given then you can start talking
Chimurenga4 a shambolic election cannot produce a winner You wanted him to win when thousand of voters were denied the right to vote
Gram Ganya Chiwara don’t lie everyone who cared had a chance to cast a vote
Chimurenga4 my man am taking reality I am was at a polling station until 2am and we were dismissed on account of shortage of ballot papers and told to come at 7 and that was that
Gram Ganya Chiwara I was too and voted the next day
