Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>CCC has said the swearing-in of its parliamentarians on Thursday, 07 September, is not an endorsement of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n

The Nelson Chamisa-led party has 103 MPs in the National Assembly and 27 Senators who were sworn in at the new Parliament Building in Mt Hampden.<\/p>\n

CCC is demanding a fresh election supervised by SADC and the African Union and earlier reports had indicated that the party intended to boycott the swearing-in ceremony in protest over alleged vote rigging.<\/p>\n

In an interview with NewsDay on Thursday, CCC deputy spokesperson Gift \u201cOstallos\u201d Siziba said their attendance was not an endorsement of ZANU PF\u2019s win. Said Siziba:<\/p>\n

This is not an endorsement of ZANU PF\u2019s alleged win, but just protocol. We cannot endorse electoral theft.<\/p>\n

The composition of the 10th Parliament of Zimbabwe (2023-2028) is as follows:<\/p>\n

National Assembly<\/b>
\nZANUPF: 176 MPs.<\/b><\/p>\n

136 direct election.<\/p>\n

33 women\u2019s quota.<\/p>\n

7 youth quota.<\/p>\n

CCC: 103 MPs.<\/b><\/p>\n

73 direct election.<\/p>\n

27 women\u2019s quota.<\/p>\n

3 youth quota.<\/p>\n

Senate<\/b><\/p>\n

ZANUPF: 33.<\/p>\n

CCC: 27.<\/p>\n

18 Chiefs.<\/p>\n

2 representing People With Disabilities.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) postponed the Gutu West constituency election following the death of one of the duly nominated candidates, Christopher Mutonhori Rwodzi, a few weeks before the 23 August 2023 Harmonised Elections.<\/p>\n

ZEC said a nomination court will be established at a later date, as advised by the Commission, for nominations to take place for a by-election in respect of Gutu West constituency.<\/p>\n
