*'Underfunding Of ZEC Ploy To Avoid By-elections'* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?wo A political analyst has said the underfunding of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) by the ZANU PF-led government was a calculated move by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to avoid by-elections at all cost. Professor Austin Chakaodza made the remarks after it emerged that the Ministry of Finance allocated a paltry $2.3 billion to ZEC, with electoral officials making it clear that they needed $12 billion to conduct by-elections in 2021. Said Chakaodza: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

ZEC chief elections officer Utoile Silaigwana told a post-budget consultative meeting on Thursday before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs that they cannot guarantee credible by-election unless the government provides the $12 billion needed for the exercise. The MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa lost 32 MPs and 165 councillors to recalls by the rival MDC-T faction led by Thokozani Khupe and by-elections to fill the vacancies are now overdue. *More: NewsDay* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
