By A Correspondent| MDC Alliance Secretary General Charlton Hwende has said he has intercepted information that Zanu PF and the Douglas Mwonzora are planning to amend the constitution to forego by-elections and replace vacant parliamentary and local government seats with party nominees.
Posting on social media, Hwende castigated the move saying its an onslaught on democracy requiring all Zimbabweans to resist and say enough is enough.
“Just been reliably informed that ED’s ZanuPF has together with the so called MDC-T agreed on a draft Constitutional amendment and a bill will soon be introduced in Parliament to forego all by elections and replace them with a system that allows their preferred Party to replace an MP or Cllr. This onslaught on Democracy is an issue that requires all Zimbabweans to resist and say enough is enough,” said Hwende.
