Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has printed ballot papers for the 09 December 2023 local authority by-elections, reported CITE<\/b>.<\/p>\n

In a notice, ZEC Chief Election Officer Utloile Silaigwana said that 99 150 ballot papers with a 6.6% contingency have been prepared.<\/p>\n

The number of eligible voters for the local authority by-elections stands at 93 016. Said Silaigwana:<\/p>\n

It is hereby notified, in terms of section 52A (2) of the Electoral Act [Chapter 2:13], that for purposes of the by-elections to be held on the 9 of December 2023, Printing and Minting Company of Zimbabwe Pvt (Ltd) located at No. 1 George Drive, Msasa, Harare, was given the mandate to print ballot papers to be used for the Local Authority by-elections. A total of Ninety-nine thousand one hundred and fifty (99 150) Local Authority ballot papers have been printed for the conduct of the by-elections.<\/p>\n

He said ZEC has also printed 2 850 ballot papers for the Chinhoyi Ward 2 by-election scheduled for 02 December.<\/p>\n

The participation of recalled Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) representatives remains uncertain as Sengezo Tshabangu, the self-proclaimed interim secretary general of the CCC, who recalled them, has filed an urgent High Court application seeking to have their names removed from the ballot paper.<\/p>\n

Tshabangu insists that the former representatives are no longer CCC members and should be disqualified from representing the party in the upcoming by-elections.<\/p>\n

The High Court has yet to rule on the matter.<\/p>\n
