Recalled
CCC
candidates
who
had
filed
their
nomination
papers
on
7
November
will
not
have
their
names
appearing
on
the
ballot
paper
come
Saturday
by-elections.
This
is
after
ZEC
acted
in
compliance
with
the
High
Court
ruling
that
nullified
the
candidates’
nomination
following
CCC
interim
Secretary
General
Sengezo
Tshabangu’s
application.
In
a
statement,
ZEC
Chief
Elections
Officer,
Utoile
Silaigwana
confirmed
that
they
are
going
to
reprint
ballots
for
Binga
North,
Lupane
East,
Cowdray
Park,
Bulawayo
South,
Lobengula-Magwegwe,
Beitbridge
West,
Nketa,
Mpopoma-Mzilikazi
constituencies
in
compliance
with
the
court
order.
He
said
the
re-printing
process
will
not
affect
the
number
of
ballots
and
is
hopeful
the
job
will
be
done
before
polling.
The
ruling
however,
will
not
affect
the
Mabvuku-Tafara
constituency,
as
the
recalled
CCC
candidate,
Mr
Munyaradzi
Kufahakutizwi
was
not
cited
as
a
respondent
in
the
court
ruling.
