ZEC Invites Local And Foreign Observers Ahead Of March By-Elections

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has invited observers ahead of the March by-elections which will see 117 local authorities and 28 National Assembly seats up for grabs.

Most of the seats became vacant following recalls of MDC-Alliance members by rival MDC-T following a Supreme Court verdict that Nelson Chamisa illegally assumed the leadership of the opposition party. Polling in other areas has been necessitated by the death of MPs and councillors.

ZEC has since gazetted the election observer fees which will see local observers and local media accredited with Zimbabwe Media Commission paying US$10 or equivalent using the bank rate.

The commission said observers from the African continent will pay US$20 while observers from foreign Embassies in Zimbabwe will pay US$50.

Journalists from international media houses will also pay US$50 accreditation fees while observers from outside Africa will have to part with US$100. Read the statement:
