Blow For CCC As ZEC Gazettes Double Candidates

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has finally responded to a letter from the Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) over the issue of double candidates.

CCC says forty-one (41) individuals fraudulently filed nomination papers as members of the party.

20 of the “fraudsters” filed nomination papers for National Assembly seats while the other 21 individuals filed for local authority seats.

On 22 June, CCC wrote a letter to ZEC and demanded a response within 2 hrs of receipt of the letter, according to lawyer Thabani Mpofu.

However, ZEC only responded 8 days later, on 30 June, after it had already gazetted the challenged names.

In the letter, signed by one E. Mamvura on behalf of ZEC Chief Elections Officer Utoile Silaigwana, the elections management body said it cannot interfere with the decision of the Nomination Court. Reads the letter:

RE: INVALID CANDIDATE NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2023 HARMONISED ELECTIONS

We refer to the above matter and acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 22 June 2023.

Please note that we cannot interfere with the decision of the Nomination Court. After the sitting of the Nomination Court, a nomination officer becomes functus officio.

We also understand that there is a pending case on the issue raised in your letter. Kindly continue to seek legal redress on the matter.

Candidates have a right to appeal against decisions of nomination officers in terms of the Electoral Act (Chapter 2:13].

In a statement on 26 June, CCC national spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said the party had filed criminal charges against the fraudsters and also appealed to the Electoral Court.

Just like any of the so-called Commissions, they're all are toothless and play to ZANUPF's chorus...

I read something to the effect that political parties were giving a list of their candidates to the elections body, which should have stopped people claiming to be members of a party from being accepted if their names were not on the list, but I may have understood it differently.

Nomination court yakatambira ma paper evanhu vakanga vane zvose zvinodiwa kuti munhu apinde musarudzo. If CCC has identified fraudsters it has every right to approach the criminal courts for redress. Fraud is a crime so should be dealt with through criminal courts not zec. Ko zvairi party yema lawyer nhai nhai

Chamisa as president with a zanupf mojority in parliament means nothing. He needs a CCC majority in parliament otherwise you are wasting your time. Parliament ndoine simba kwete president. It's better to have a CCC two thirds majority with Idhi as president than to have chamisa as president with a zanupf majority. Svinurai

ZEC is an accomplice in the issue of double candidates. Why did it not respond to CCC Political Party''s letter in good time ? [ ZANU PF IS FULL OF GOLD MAFIA THUGS. THEY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO RULE FURTHER ]. CCC Political Party has two options. [1] Let things as they are and consentrate on campaigning heavily in the wards and constituencies affected, dishonoring those who are not their candidates. [2] Persue their cases in the Electoral Courts. [ THE BUSH LAWYER4CCC ].

@Fuhrer , obviously , what else are you going to say , it's not like you can make decisions of your own anyway, I bet you're always making bad life choices , seriously you can't even choose the right political party , you're a dimwit Fuhrer , I bet you support Arsenal too .

@Bush law Indeed it goes to Bush your namesake, Zec responded but against none and its not their perogative to culture your structures that would have been serial Ed way before the final date, asii they stretched their work load to respond in time yes a week is fast response nekuti vanowandirwa wo nema basa hence the term Functus Officio

@ chawabvunza option 1 is the most viable. Just let the people know who the real candidate in the contested ward is... knowledge is power, people will vote for the right candidate mole yobata pasi
