The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) has assured residents of Mt Pleasant Heights in Harare that they will remain on the Mt Pleasant constituency voters’ roll, contrary to reports that their names would be transferred to the Mazowe South constituency voters’ roll.
Zec chairperson Justice Rita Makarau said there had been no delimitation in the country and the electoral body would stick to the 2008 Delimitation Commission boundaries in next year’s polls. Said Makarau:
We write to advise that there is no exercise, current, immediate or past, to delimit Mazowe South or Harare North constituencies. All constituency boundaries remain as they were after the Delimitation Report of 2008. All voters will be registered in the wards and constituencies that they were set by the Delimitation Report of 2008.
Makarau’s comments come after Mt Pleasant Heights resident Warship Dumba recently approached Zec seeking clarity over reports that some residents in the constituency had their names transferred to Mazowe South.
