In a recent development, the High Court in Harare has granted the application put forth by Sengezo Tshabangu, the Interim Secretary General of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), aimed at prohibiting the participation of recalled CCC candidates in the upcoming by-elections.
This significant decision effectively entails the removal of all candidates purportedly endorsed by party leader Nelson Chamisa from the ballot papers.
Scheduled for this Saturday, the 9th of December, the impending by-elections now face a noteworthy shift due to this legal ruling. The court’s decision to bar candidates linked with the recalled faction within the CCC adds a layer of complexity and anticipation to the electoral process.
