Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) national spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere has accused journalist and Government critic Hopewell Chin\u2019ono of spreading malicious information about the opposition party.<\/p>\n

Chin\u2019ono claimed that CCC has failed to field candidates in some constituencies and wards in Manicaland and Mashonaland West provinces.<\/p>\n

In response, Mahere said the party accepts constructive criticism and respects freedom of expression but will not be swayed by people with a \u201cdirty agenda\u201d. She said:<\/p>\n

Why not be respectful enough to allow the Independent Selection Panel to complete its work instead of churning out malicious disinformation?<\/p>\n

Wait for due process and official announcements instead of getting ahead of yourself with erroneous reporting. This is regrettable.<\/p>\n

Journalism, constructive criticism and freedom of expression are good. Having a dirty agenda is not.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t stop working hard, holding the Govt to account, speaking out against corruption, mobilizing the masses & fighting to win Zimbabwe for change.<\/p>\n

Chin\u2019ono, who recently clashed on social media with CCC activists after claiming the opposition in Zimbabwe was as dead as a Dodo, claimed that CCC was finding it difficult to find candidates in some rural areas. He tweeted:<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe\u2019s main opposition party, CCC is struggling to find candidates in some rural areas. In Chamanimani, only 1 candidate was nominated in 22 wards.<\/p>\n

Only 1 MP candidate was nominated for the 2 Chimanimani constituencies. Over 24 Mashonaland West wards don\u2019t have candidates.<\/p>\n

CCC recently conducted a candidate nomination process that will go through stages until a candidate to represent the party is selected.<\/p>\n

The CCC nomination has four stages; nomination, verification, stakeholder consultations, citizen caucus where candidates will be expected to deliver a manifesto.<\/p>\n
