Misleading and immature! – says CCC after ZEC removes opposition candidates from by-election ballot

OPPOSITION Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has dismissed the claims made by the Zimbabwe Election Commission (ZEC) that their candidates have been barred from contesting in the upcoming by elections.

In a statement party spokesperson, Promise Mkwananzi described ZEC’s announcement as false, inaccurate, misleading, and premature.

“Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) wishes to inform members of the public that the statement by the Zimbabwe Election Commission (ZEC) alleging that our candidates have been barred and therefore Zanu PF candidates have been duly elected following the high court ruling of the 19th of January 2024 is false, inaccurate, misleading and premature,” said Mkwananzi.

“We are still well within the stipulated timeline to lodge our appeal with the Supreme Court as provided for by the law.
