The opposition Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) party has postponed the announcement of the names of candidates who were successfully nominated in the candidate nomination process conducted last week on Wednesday.
Last week, CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said the names of those who were nominated will be announced this Tuesday.
However, in a post on Twitter on Tuesday morning, Mahere said the announcement had been deferred to tomorrow, Wednesday, 12 April. She said:
Tomorrow at noon, we will do a press briefing that will update the nation on the progress of our candidate selection process. The CISP will announce prospective candidates who’ve been nominated.
However, later on Tuesday, Mahere said the announcement of prospective candidates who have been nominated will not happen as scheduled but at new time to be advised. She said:
POSTPONED: Please note that this press briefing will be rescheduled. A new time for the update will be announced.
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.
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.
