ZEC must act constitutionally and reform or be disbanded. The 26 March by election will test Z EC’s readiness to conduct elections as we move towards 2023.

The citizens will vigorously defend the vote. Important lessons have been taken from the 2018 election and the citizens will have adequate polling agents and safeguards to guard against rigging.
