Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>OPPOSITION Citizen Coalition for Change (CCC) has said Zimbabwe will soon conduct another election through a transitional authority headed by the SADC and managed by an \u201cindependent and professional\u201d electoral body.<\/p>\n

This comes after the August general election was denounced by regional and international electoral observer missions: the SADC, AU, EU, Commonwealth, and Carter Center in their preliminary reports.<\/p>\n

The opposition described the polls as a \u201cgigantic fraud\u201d and has insisted on a rerun, demands which the ruling party, Zanu PF, and its affiliates have scoffed at.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, CCC spokesperson Promise Mkwananzi wrote: \u201cMnangagwa will be dragged to a fresh, free & fair election kicking & screaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cA fresh election is inevitable. Let us use every peaceful & democratic means available & permissible to bring forth the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cA fresh election beyond Mnangagwa\u2019s wishes. The decision to conduct a fresh election in Zimbabwe is not Mr. Mnangagwa\u2019s decision. It is a decision of all stakeholders in Zimbabwe and the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs @CCCZimbabwe, we have already refused to accept the result. President @nelsonchamisa and his chief election agent did not sign off those sham results\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added Chamisa had already stated that \u201cwhat is currently governing is an illegal, illegitimate interim defacto arrangement peaceful means would be used make sure re-election will be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus is on organising and mobilizing towards a fresh election which will have to come through a transitional authority shepherded by SADC and a new, independent & professional body in place of @ZECzim.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week War Veterans Affairs minister Chris Mutsvangwa warned the West against interfering with the SADC, calling Zambian president Hakainde Hichilema a puppet.<\/p>\n

Zanu PF launched an onslaught on Hichilema and Zambia after its former vice president and head of the SADC EOM Observer Nevers Mumba reported the election was flawed.<\/p>\n

SADC has since responded to the attacks on election observers saying they undermine the bloc\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n
