Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) candidate for Mabvuku-Tafara in the 09 December 2023 by-elections, Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi has approached the High Court seeking to compel the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to give him a polling station-based voters\u2019 roll for the constituency.<\/p>\n

This was confirmed by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) in a statement posted on X. It said:<\/p>\n

At Harare High Court, we have challenged ZEC\u2019s refusal to furnish Mabvuku-Tafara parliamentary candidate Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi for next month\u2019s by-elections, with a polling station-based voters\u2019 roll.<\/p>\n

In an urgent court application filed by our lawyer Obey Shava, we asked the High Court to compel ZEC to release and hand over the voters\u2019 roll to Kufahakutizwi within 48 hours.<\/p>\n

Our court challenge came after numerous attempts seeking the release of the voters\u2019 roll by Kufahakutizwi, one of the participating candidates in next month\u2019s by-elections, were turned down by ZEC.<\/p>\n

By-elections will be held in Beitbridge West, Binga North, Bulawayo South, Cowdray Park, Lobengula-Magwegwe, Lupane East, Mabvuku-Tafara, Mpopoma-Mzilikazi and Nketa constituencies.<\/p>\n

CCC won all the nine constituencies in the 23-24 August 2023 general elections. But in October, CCC activist Sengezo Tshabangu<\/b> recalled the legislators after declaring himself the party\u2019s interim secretary general.<\/p>\n

Tshabangu subsequently recalled more MPs and councillors and the number of CCC representatives he has recalled to date stands at 27 MPs, 14 senators, and 69 councillors.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tshabangu has since filed an urgent High Court application seeking to bar recalled CCC legislators and councillors who successfully filed their nomination papers to contest in the 09 December by-elections.<\/p>\n

Tshabangu, through his lawyer Advocate Lewis Uriri, argued that the recalled CCC members had ceased to be members of CCC and therefore could not represent the same party in the by-elections.<\/p>\n

However, in July 2023, the High Court dismissed an appeal by CCC against forty-one (41) individuals who fraudulently filed nomination papers as members of the party.<\/b><\/p>\n

The CCC claimed that 20 of the \u201cfraudsters\u201d filed nomination papers for National Assembly seats while the other 21 individuals filed for local authority seats.<\/p>\n

High Court Judge Justice Neville Wamambo dismissed the appeal application saying the papers had nothing suspicious.<\/p>\n
