President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Wednesday proclaimed 23 August 2023 as the date for the harmonised general election [presidential, parliamentary and local authority].
Below are some important things to know about the upcoming elections:
Who is eligible to vote?
Registered voters who were on the Voters’ Roll when the election date proclamation was done and those who register as voters not later than two days after the proclamation are eligible to vote in this year’s election.
When will ballot papers be printed?
The Zimbabwe Election Commission (ZEC) will print ballot papers after the sitting of the nomination Court on 21 June.
How much must candidates pay as Nomination Fees?
According to Statutory Instrument 144 of 2022, the presidential candidate nomination fee is US$20 000, up from US$1 000 in this year’s election.
A Member of Parliament and local authority candidate will pay US$1 000 up from US$50.
A proportional representation member will pay US$200, up from US$100 to participate in this year’s election.
The date for the run-off/re-run
President Mnangagwa set 02 October 2023 as the date for a run-off for the election of the office of the President if such a poll becomes necessary in terms of Section 38(1)(a)(iii) of the Electoral Act.
A presidential election run-off is held if no candidate gets 50 percent of the valid votes cast and above.
The top two candidates in the elections automatically qualify for the run-off and the winner is required to garner 50 percent plus one vote.
Zimbabwe held its first-ever presidential run-off also known as a re-run in 2008.
However, Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai withdrew from the race citing violence against its supporters and ZANU PF’s Robert Mugabe was declared the winner after the election.
What now for Electoral Amendment Bill before Parliament?
ZEC chief elections officer Utloile Silaigwana was recently quoted as saying that said once the President proclaims the election date, the commission will run an election with existing law.
When will parliament be dissolved?
Parliament will be dissolved at midnight on the day before the first polling day in the next general election called in terms of section 144 of the constitution.
Who qualifies to be an election candidate?
A presidential candidate should be a Zimbabwean citizen by birth or descent, should be at least 40 years of age, ordinarily resident in Zimbabwe and a registered voter.
A person who has already held office as President under this Constitution for two terms, whether continuous or not, is disqualified for election as President or Vice-President.
A person is qualified for election as a Member of the National Assembly if he or she is registered as a voter and is at least twenty-one years of age. A Senate candidate should be at least forty years of age.

2023 Elections: Here Is What Happens After Election Date Proclamation

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said he will announce the date for the General Elections on Sunday, reported the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/president-to-announce-election-date-this-sunday/">Chronicle</a>.
Speaking in Binga today at the official commissioning of classroom blocks at Mabobolo Secondary School under Chief Pashu, Mnangagwa said:
<blockquote>
Tomorrow (Sunday) I will be announcing election day.
When elections are conducted every person in Binga should safeguard our heritage by voting.
If we do not vote properly people without Zimbabwe at heart will take over. We must protect it and preserve our heritage.
</blockquote>
Last month Mnangagwa revealed that he will announce the election date towards the end of May.
Section 38 of the Electoral Act empowers the President to proclaim the date for harmonised elections after consultation with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC).

Mnangagwa Says He Will Announce Election Date On Sunday

Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has criticised President Emmerson Mnangagwa for allegedly delaying to proclaim the date of the elections saying this makes it difficult for players to prepare for the polls.
Section 38 of the Electoral Act empowers the President to proclaim the date for general elections after consultation with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC).
The elections should be held in August this year but Mnangagwa is yet to proclaim the date for the harmonised elections.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/interview-chamisa-slams-mnangagwas-silence-on-elections-date-proclamation/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>, Chamisa it is unacceptable that Mnangagwa is the only one who knows the date. Said Chamisa:
<blockquote>
It is unfair for one player to also be a referee, a match commissioner and to be the regulatory authority.
It is wrong especially when everyone is put in suspense thereby making planning almost impossible.
National affairs and people’s lives cannot be run on an ad hoc basis upon guesswork and conjecture.
All stakeholders have to plan ahead of time. Right now Kenyan citizens know the exact date when the elections due in 2027 are going to be held.
That is good governance. Not this unilateralism where a date is used as an unfair advantage over competitors.
Others may not be able to fully plan. A date cannot be determined by one person. The fate of a nation can’t fit in one’s pocket.
Mr. Mnangagwa is saying he is the only one who knows the date. This is unacceptable.
</blockquote>
Last month Mnangagwa revealed that he will announce the election date towards the end of May but is yet to honour his promise. Added Chamisa:
<blockquote>
Everyone is in the dark, except for Mr. Mnangagwa and possibly his colleagues in ZANU PF.
That is not a desirable framework. It is not conducive to the holding of a proper and credible process.
That must definitely change and the law must change on that. There is a need to make sure that there is greater predictability. More certainty in terms of these criticals.
The dates are supposed to be by virtue of the Constitution and the predictability of the date is what we are emphasising.
We need to make sure that we deal with these issues as an immediate national issue and an issue of consideration.
</blockquote>
An American credit rating agency, Fitch Solutions, recently predicted that Mnangagwa and the ruling ZANU PF will likely win in general elections.
In its new report, Fitch Solutions said the opposition CCC led by Nelson Chamisa will win key votes in low-income urban areas but ZANU PF will win the overall vote due to “overarching resources” and the advantage of incumbency.

Mnangagwa's Silence On Elections Date Proclamation Unacceptable - Chamisa

Fitch Solutions, a global advisory, has predicted that President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the ruling ZANU PF will likely win in general elections scheduled for August this year.
In its new report, Fitch Solutions said the opposition CCC led by Nelson Chamisa will win key votes in low-income urban areas but ZANU PF will win the overall vote due to “overarching resources” and the advantage of incumbency. The report said:
<blockquote>
At Fitch Solutions, we believe that the incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his ZANU PF party will win the upcoming general elections due to be held by August 2023.
ZANU PF’s overarching resources and influence compared to the opposition CCC, headed by Chamisa, will preserve its support in rural strongholds and win key votes in low-income urban areas.
Central to our belief that ZANU PF will win the elections is the party’s far greater political and economic resources it has to sway the vote in its favour.
</blockquote>
The report also warns of possible unrest in the country in the run-up to and aftermath of the elections. It said:
<blockquote>
Overall, reform momentum under another Mnangagwa presidency will remain weak and will constrain the country’s medium-term macroeconomic outlook.
We see a rising likelihood of unrest in the run-up to and aftermath of the elections, prompting us to revise down the short-term political risk index score from 38.8 to 37.9, below the Sub-Saharan Africa average of 50.1.
</blockquote>
In the aftermath of the 2018 general elections, security forces used live rounds of ammunition to disperse protestors in central Harare.
Six people were shot dead, some were shot in the back while fleeing the mayhem, and several others were injured.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) declared Mnangagwa the winner, but Chamisa contested the results of the presidential poll in court.
However, the Constitutional Court upheld Mnangagwa’s victory, saying Chamisa failed to provide evidence that the results were rigged.

American Credit Rating Agency Predicts Mnangagwa, ZANU PF Victory In 2023 Elections

Norton legislator Temba Mliswa (Independent) has suggested that the country should go for a referendum for the electorate to decide whether to go ahead with the 2023 general elections or postpone them.
Zimbabwe is scheduled to hold general elections this year between 26 July and 26 August.
The Constitution of Zimbabwe makes it clear that elections should be conducted every five years, and the term of office of elected government officers is strictly five years.
Mliswa claimed that Zimbabweans are tired of elections as they have failed to bring about substantial socio-economic change. He said:
<blockquote>
The prevailing issue which has resulted in Mwonzora going to court is the culpability of all those who failed to play their role and only came to life after ZEC delivered the final report.
However, going forward, as I have already said in an interview with Guthrie Munyuki, a referendum could be a good idea at this moment.
The country needs a referendum to hear what the people say about the whole election debate and implement that.
People are tired of elections &amp; they have failed to bring about any substantial socio-economic change.
Instead of acknowledging this reality, there has been a lot of posturing by politicians across the board. There is always the mirage that the next election is it!
The opposition can’t campaign openly; the voter’s roll isn’t available and it’s clear from the outset that whatever results will come out will be contentious and won’t advance the country one step.
The reforms which the opposition has been clamouring for have not been realized!
The ingredients for another contentious electoral season are there and yet we are plowing full-steam ahead as if things have changed. They haven’t.
It’s just that in the frenetic excitement of polls, many lose their marbles and only awake after.
</blockquote>
In 2019, the Zimbabwe Heads Of Christian Denominations called for the suspension of elections for seven years.
Some opposition parties have also called for the postponement of the polls but the country’s main opposition political party, CCC, wants polls to go ahead, despite having its many rallies banned or disrupted.

Zimbabweans Are Tired Of Elections, Says Temba Mliswa

The Zimbabwe Democracy Institute (ZDI) has claimed that the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2023/02/21/download-final-delimitation-report-govt-gazette-pdf/">final delimitation report</a> that was gazetted by President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> on Monday 20 February 2023 is a ZANU-PF scheme to maintain a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
In a series of Twitter posts seen by Pindula News, ZDI the approach used by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) was meant to avoid the collapse of constituencies in areas regarded as ZANU PF strongholds. We present the posts:
<blockquote>
1. @ZECzim final delimitation report gazetted by President Mnangagwa on the 20th of February 2023 can best be understood as a ZANU-PF scheme for maintaining a two-thirds majority in Parliament. Three observations in the ZEC’s final delimitation report corroborate this argument.
2. First is that, ZEC deliberately applies 2007/8 total seats per province as its basis in coming up with the 2023 framework for allocating constituencies and sticks to its erroneous application of section 161(6).
3. There is no justifiable reason for adopting this framework other than the desire to avoid loss of constituencies from ZANU-PF stronghold provinces needed to secure a two-thirds majority in Parliament.
4. Second is that, ZEC disregarded adult population dynamics per province presented in the 2022 census when it allocated constituencies per province. If it was used, 7 seats were going to be transferred from ZANU PF stronghold provinces to the opposition stronghold provinces
5. Third is that, ZEC disregarded registered voter proportions per province in the total national voter population in coming up with its constituency allocation framework.

"Delimitation Report A ZANU-PF Scheme To Maintain Two-thirds Majority In Parliament" - ZDI

Self-exiled former ZANU PF Politburo member Jonathan Moyo has dismissed a recent survey by the London-based SABI Strategy Group showing CCC leader Nelson Chamisa will defeat President Emmerson Mnangagwa in elections scheduled for later this year, reported <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/jonathan-moyo-scoffs-at-survey-showing-voters-favour-chamisa-over-mnangagwa-says-its-fatal-desperation/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>.
Moyo said the survey by SABI Strategy Group is a “fatal desperation” that lacks objectivity.
According to the survey, if the 2023 general elections were to be held now, Chamisa would garner 53% of the vote, Mnangagwa 40% and other parties 7%.
SABI Strategy Group used a 15-minute questionnaire where potential voters were asked: “Thinking ahead to the next presidential election, which candidate will you vote for?”
The pollsters said they used a nationally representative sample of 1 000 registered voters.
But Moyo argued that the survey was not independent, and therefore “phoney”. He said:
<blockquote>
It is a fatal desperation to pin hopes on a phoney ‘PHONE SURVEY’ of 1000 registered voters in Zimbabwe done from London by a group paid by Brenthurst Foundation, founded by the meddlesome Oppenheimer family!
Who gave them 1000 phone numbers of registered voters?
London’s allegedly independent ‘SABI Strategy Group’ paid to do the phone survey, fraudulently presented as ‘fieldwork’ as it smiled to the bank with dirty Oppenheimer money is in fact a partner of Brenthurst Foundation and is thus not independent at all. Phoney!
</blockquote>
The survey also established that 47% of the voters believe the 2023 election will not be free and fair while 38% believed it will be fair.
ZANU PF has since dismissed the survey as flawed, saying it is biased towards the opposition.

The Alliance for the People’s Agenda (APA) has endorsed Robert Chapman, of the Democratic Union of Zimbabwe (DUZ) as the Presidential Candidate for the 2023 general elections following the departure of its founding president Nkosana Moyo.
In a statement issued on 14 December 2022, APA said it cannot in good conscience form an alliance with either ZANU PF, MDC, or CCC, because they do not share the same values of meritocracy-based politics. It said:
<blockquote>
… we cannot in all conscience support either ZANU PF or the MDC in its various guises, including that of CCC.
Both parties have consistently displayed a culture of violence, intolerance towards those who might challenge the top leadership, misogyny and a lack of depth in finding practical solutions to the self-inflicted challenges that face our country.
The latest stampede for $40 000 “loans” should have convinced even the most ardent of their supporters that current politicians have a self-serving agenda to join the system.
</blockquote>
APA said the decision to back Chapman follows several meetings between officials from both parties. The party said:
<blockquote>
We have, however, held several meetings with Robert Chapman, of the Democratic Union of Zimbabwe, over several months and have found a common cause in core values and competence.
APA is, therefore, happy to endorse him as the Presidential Candidate for 2023. We call upon our members and all those Zimbabweans who believe, understand and support our message to engage with the messaging from and vote for Robert Chapman for President.
In a sense, we are passing the baton from Dr Nkosana Moyo the democrat and technocrat to Robert Chapman, the democrat and technocrat. We also encourage our supporters to vote APA where APA fields its own candidates for parliament.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) says the holding of National Assembly and Local Authority by-elections will be suspended on 1 November 2022 pending the 2023 General Elections.
In a notice, ZEC chairperson Priscilla Chugumba said vacancies that occur on or after 1 November 2022 will be suspended in line with Section 158(3) of the Constitution. Said Chigumba:
<blockquote>
Section 158(3) of the Constitution provides that polling in by-elections shall take place within ninety days of the vacancies occurring unless the vacancies occur within nine months before a general election is due to be held. 
The last general election held in 2018 was held on 31 July 2018. It is therefore anticipated from a reading of section 158(3) of the Constitution that general elections will be held on a date to be set during the month of either July or August 2023.
Members of the public are thus notified that the filling of vacancies that occur on or after the 1st of November 2022 will be suspended pending the conduct of the 2023 general elections.
</blockquote>
The Douglas Mwonzora-led MDC-T recently recalled two Victoria Falls councillors accusing them of defying party protocol and siding with rival opposition, CCC.
The affected councillors are Ward 7 councillor Thuso Moyo and Josepha Dzangai of Ward 8.
Since a controversial Supreme Court ruling in March 2020 on the MDC-T succession dispute, the opposition party has recalled scores of councillors.
The announcement by ZEC means that any MP or councillor elected on an MDC Alliance ticket or ZANU PF for that matter, in 2018, who is recalled from 1 November going forward will have to wait for the general elections to contest for the seat again.
