By A Correspondent| The Professor Lovemore Madhuku led National Constitutional Assembly has vowed to fight for electoral reforms especially the provision that gives a sitting President power to appoint ZEC Chairperson and all commissioners, the party spokesperson Maddock Chivasa has said.

Posting on Facebook, Chivasa said the issue of how ZEC is constituted was now a matter of urgency.

Chivasa said the provision on how ZEC is constituted is undemocratic as it gives a sitting President decides the referee in a game he/she is part of.

“The issue of how ZEC should be constituted in preparation for the next general elections, legally due in 2023,is now a matter of both urgency and ermergency.

“As NCA Party we are strongly against the provision in the Constitution that gives power to a sitting President to appoint ZEC Chairperson and all ZEC Commissioners,” said Chivasa.

He added that as NCA, they were opposed to rituals disguised as elections.

“This provision in the Constitution is undemocratic in that in the current circumstances it gives powers to President Mnangagwa to appoint a ZEC that will oversee an election which he is most likely to contest as a Presidential candidate together with other candidates contesting as Mps and Councillors from his party Zanu PF,” added Chivasa.

He urged Zimbabweans to come together and demand electoral reforms which he said is the only way to guarantee undisputed elections.

“Let us all put our heads together and reject a state of affairs where Zanu pf determines a referee in the same game it is also playing. Elections are not rituals we demand a fair electoral field that is not tilted in favor of the incumbents. A free and fair election is an election where all contestants have equal chances to win those elections,” said Chivasa.
