President Emmerson Mnangagwa has received the preliminary report on the Delimitation exercise from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commisssion (ZEC) Chairperson Justice Chigumba.
Acting Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, George Charamba, said President Mnangagwa has seven days to study the report, and if satisfied he can cause the parliament to sit and debate it.
“In terms of the law, His Excellency is required to cause the Report to be tabled before the Parliament of Zimbabwe within seven working days from the date of presentation of the said Report,” he said.
Delimitation is the process of dividing the country into constituencies and wards for the purposes of elections of persons to constituency seats in the National Assembly and of councillors to local authorities. The process is carried out in terms of sections 160 and 161 of the new Constitution.
