Gerrymandering

ZESN has just released their classification of the 210 constituencies for
this Election.


They work out as follows:           Urban 51 seats (24 per cent)

Rural 146 seats (70 per cent)

Mixed seats 13 seats (6 per cent)     By contrast we estimate urban populations at over 6 million and therefore

put the total population at 60:40 – however there is no doubt that there are

more adults in urban areas as many there leave their families in the rural

areas.                By this definition the spit should be as follows:            Urban 126 seats (60 per cent)

Rural 72 seats (34 per cent)

Mixed 12 seats  (6 per cent)              The urban electorate is under represented by 75 seats or 50 per cent. –
