CCC is today expected to announce the names of candidates who were successfully nominated in the candidate nomination process conducted last week on Wednesday.
Unlike ZANU PF which held primary elections to select members who will represent it in forthcoming general elections, CCC conducted a candidate nomination process that will go through stages until a candidate to represent the party is selected.
Speaking during a press conference held in Harare last week CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said the names of those who were nominated will be announced this Tuesday. She said:
… Immediately after the Easter break is over on Tuesday (today), we are going to continue with daily updates which will obviously be delivering the feedback or the returns on who has been nominated.
The nomination has four stages; nomination, verification, stakeholder consultations, and citizen caucus where candidates will be expected to deliver a manifesto.
Open Parly reported that the CCC nomination has four stages; nomination, verification, stakeholder consultations, citizen caucus where candidates will be expected to deliver a manifesto.
Mahere warned CCC members that those who engaged in violence will be disqualified from the nomination process. She said:
Any person found responsible for causing violence will be automatically disqualified from any form of participation in the candidate selection process whether by nomination, by making your voice heard or even standing.
Investigations have already commenced in the limited cases where such reports were received.
Mahere said 90 percent of the nominations were conducted without any complaints.
CCC has established the Citizen Independent Selection Panel (CISP) to deal with complaints.
