The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission has called for greater stakeholder engagement in shaping Zimbabwe’s future electoral processes.
Speaking at the ZEC National Multi-Stakeholder Post-Election Review Conference in Nyanga, Justice Priscilla Chigumba stressed the need for collective responsibility to improve elections and minimise conflict.
“We urge stakeholders to share with us their expectations on how elections should be conducted in the future,” she said, highlighting the importance of dialogue in addressing challenges and meeting public expectations.
The ZEC Chairperson emphasized the critical role of electoral reform in enhancing transparency, inclusiveness, and accuracy. Justice Chigumba noted that while reforms are necessary, they must be implemented carefully to avoid confusion and ensure sustainability.
She called on stakeholders to collaborate in proposing reforms that strengthen electoral integrity without causing disruptions to the process. “Electoral reform is key, but it must be done in a way that fosters impartiality and does not confuse voters,” she remarked.
