Recalled CCC Members To Contest 03 February By-elections
Recalled Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) Members of Parliament on Monday, 18 December successfully filed their nomination papers ahead of by-elections set for 03 February 2024.
Six parliamentary seats will be up for grabs after the incumbent legislators, all from CCC, were recalled by Sengezo Tshabangu who claims to be the party’s interim secretary-general.
CCC Ward 9 councillor Donaldson Mabutho said he filed nomination papers on behalf of party deputy spokesperson Gift Ostallos Siziba to contest for the Pelandaba-Tshabalala seat in Bulawayo.
In the run-up to the 09 December by-elections, Tshabangu blocked recalled CCC members from contesting on the party ticket, saying they had been expelled from CCC.
By-elections will also be held in Goromonzi South, Seke, Chegutu West, Zvimba East and Mkoba.
