Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) chairperson, Rita Makarau has said that all the Zimbabweans who live outside the country are not eligible to register as voters unless they come back to Zimbbabwe. She said if the political parties are unhappy about it they can amend the law.
Speaking to journalists on Monday, Makarau said:
Yes it’s true that millions of Zimbabweans living in the diaspora won’t be registered for the 2018 general election unless if they come to register in the country.
ZEC will not be able to set up facilities abroad for those living in the diaspora because currently the legal frame work does not make a provision for that.
Political parties particularly those who have representation in Parliament should respond to them as they are the law makers.
Go and make the appropriate law that will allow us to register them and we will then implement it
