Zimbabwe: June 10 Polls for Recalled MPs Seats

28 March 2015

Zvamaida Murwira — PRESIDENT Mugabe has proclaimed June 10, 2015, as the date for by-elections in 14 parliamentary seats that fell vacant after MDC-T recalled 21 legislators who joined the newly-formed United Movement for Democratic Change (UMDC). MDC-T will nominate people to fill the other seven seats which are exempted from by-elections as they were won through the proportional representation system using the party's share of the vote in the 2013 harmonised elections.

The 14 by-elections will be held on the same day as those of Headlands and Hurungwe West where Messrs Didymus Mutasa and his nephew, Temba Mliswa, were kicked out by Zanu-PF over a plot to topple President Mugabe through unconstitutional means.
