‘Political parties must not be registered’

AN opinion poll run by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) yesterday indicated that the majority of citizens feel that registration of political parties is not necessary.

The poll was conducted at the Harare Agriculture Show on Thursday and Friday and on Zec’s Twitter handle to gather public opinion on registration of political parties.

Zec says it has 200 names of political parties on its database, but only around 10% participate in electoral processes.
