*We're Aligning Electoral Laws To Govt Policies & Constitution - ZEC* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?be Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has said that it was working to ensure that electoral laws are aligned with government policies and the national constitution. The alignment was announced by ZEC chief elections officer, Mr Utloile Silaigwana, who said that the desire was for the commission to run free, fair and credible elections. ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- Silaigwana added that the commission was currently seeking to amend Statutory Instrument 89 of 2013 which speaks on accreditation fees for election observers. The commissioner said: > We have since received complaints that ZEC was charging US$10 for accreditation fees of civil society organisations which observed the just-ended by-elections in Ward 31 Bikita East and Ward 26 Nyanga. > We are not charging accreditation fees in US dollars, but in Zimbabwe dollars at the interbank rate equivalent to US$10. We are taking measures to ensure that SI 89 of 2013 is aligned with Government policy on legal tender and the constitution of Zimbabwe. The government recently announced Statutory Instrument 142 of 2019 which reintroduced the Zimbabwe dollar and banned the use of all foreign currencies for domestic transactions. Silaigwana’s remarks come when calls for electoral reforms have been increasing with the opposition MDC led by advocate Nelson Chamisa declaring that it will not participate in any election presided over by the current ZEC team. MDC accuses the Commission of conniving with the ruling ZANU PF in manipulating the 2018 elections in favour of president Mnangagwa and the ruling party.
