Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Self-proclaimed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) interim secretary general Sengezo Tshabangu said that his party will accept the outcome of the by-elections held today, 09 December.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Chronicle<\/b>, Tshabangu said the elections were held in a peaceful environment, and he will therefore accept the results.<\/p>\n

Tshabangu, however, expressed concern over reports of voter apathy after it emerged that the majority of registered voters shunned the polls. He said:<\/p>\n

To us, any outcome will be accepted although everyone knows that when you go into any contest, the objective is to win.<\/p>\n

However, everyone knows that in this political game, it\u2019s either you win or lose and you must be prepared to accept especially the losing part. It\u2019s all part of democracy.<\/p>\n

These by-elections presented an opportunity for a democratic foundation as we look forward to 2028.<\/p>\n

We are of course concerned about the reported voter apathy because we know that any voter apathy has always benefited ZANU PF.<\/p>\n

Tshabangu has recalled scores of CCC MPs and councillors, saying they had ceased to be members of the opposition party.<\/p>\n

However, CCC leader Nelson Chamisa has dismissed Tshabangu as an imposter and accused him of working with ZANU PF to destroy the opposition party.<\/p>\n
