ZANU PF - Why Hurting Zimbabweans |12 CCC Bulawayo MPs Barred From August 23 Elections By High Court

BULAWAYO – A High Court judge on Thursday barred 12 Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) candidates for the National Assembly from taking part in the August 23 elections, ruling that their nomination papers were filed out of time. Justice Bongani Ndlovu’s judgement carries devastating consequences for the country’s main opposition party which now cannot have any representation in the Senate from Bulawayo province, or take up any youth and women’s quota seats in the National Assembly, where seats are allocated on the basis of proportional representation based on votes each party obtains in elections for National Assembly representatives. “It also means the party is now denied a decent share of cash under the Political Parties (Finance) Act because that’s only determined by votes for National Assembly candidates,” lawyer Professor Lovemore Madhuku told ZimLive. The CCC’s legal team said it would appeal the judgement. #zanupf #ccc #nelsonchamisa #mnangagwa #zimbabwe #zimbabwelatestnews #zimlive
