The Citizens’ Coalition for Change, through its spokesperson Mr. Mkwananzi, has called for the intensification of demands for a free election. Mkwananzi said, “Following the CCC Citizen Assembly’s resolution to reject the electoral sham of August 2023, I wish to announce that my communications department will be launching a 30-day #CitizensFreshElection campaign. Every aggrieved citizen must play a part in this historic journey.”
This follows the announced resolution by the party’s National Citizens’ Assembly, which condemns the just-ended elections. Their resolution is guided by SADC and AU observer missions, who also confessed that the election was neither free nor fair. “The Mission noted that some aspects of the Harmonised Elections fell short of the requirements of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, the Electoral Act, and the SADC Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections (2021).”
The party has therefore decided to call for a new election and announced it yesterday (29 August 2023) through a press conference addressed by one party official Mr. Ostallos Siziba, on 29 August 2023.
