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.
