CCC challenges Zanu PF Byo provincial council seats sweep

Zim Now Writer

Citizens Coalition for Chang has mounted a court challenge after Zanu PF swept all the 10 Bulawayo Provincial Council seats on the basis that CCC failed to field candidates.

The elected candidates include Manala Motsi, Eddie Dube, Kundai Nyika, Golden Ndlovu Mnothisi Nsingo, Moleen Dube and Mlungisi Moyo.

The application by CCC argues that the Provincial Election Officer “unlawfully” refused to give its candidate a chance to submit nomination papers.

According to the candidates, they were all present and ready at Tredgold Building to submit the paperwork after 4pm.

The applicants in the case are Aquilina Kayidza Pamberi, Tinashe Kambarami, Memory Ndlovu, Promise Dalubuhle Mkwananzi and Caroline Mapako, Garikayi Mugova, Kwanele Bango, Brian Gumbo, Gladys Mathe and Tawanda Ruzive.

Provincial or Metropolitan Council seats are filled using the results of the harmonised elections.

Each party is allocated a number depending on its accumulation of total votes from the National Assembly elections.
