Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Citizens\u2019 Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has reiterated his call for what he calls a Pre-Elections Pact on Reforms (PREPARE) to ensure that the 2023 general elections are held in a peaceful environment that will produce an uncontested outcome.<\/p>\n

Chamisa said that Zimbabwe should break the cycle of disputed elections by implementing genuine reforms that create an environment for free and fair polls. He said:<\/p>\n

There are no genuine reforms in the Zpf\/government proposed electoral reforms by cabinet.<\/p>\n

A pre-election pact on reforms by all parties, civil society, and stakeholders is key.<\/p>\n

Any unilateral political decision will produce a disputed and discredited national leadership.<\/p>\n

In October this year, Cabinet approved the Electoral Amendment Bill which seeks to incorporate 30 percent of women in local authorities and introduce a youth quota system in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Announcing the development while delivering the 29th post Cabinet briefing in Harare last month, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa:<\/p>\n

In terms of the constitution of Zimbabwe, one has to be a citizen in order to qualify as a voter.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, only a valid Passport or National Identity Card will be required as proof of identity.<\/p>\n

… Once the Electoral Amendment Bill; 2022 is enacted into law, it will assist in ensuring that only citizens are able to vote in an election; that proper candidates are allowed to contest in an election; providing clarity on when and how a candidate can withdraw their candidature in an election so as to afford ZEC sufficient time to make changes to the design of the ballot; and advising the electorate of any changes to the candidature in an election.<\/p>\n
