Zesn insists on reforms ahead of polls

THE Zimbabwe Election Support Network (Zesn) has implored government to implement electoral reforms in line with regional best practices ahead of the country’s August polls.

Zimbabwe’s elections are expected to take place in August, although President Emmerson Mnangagwa is yet to announce the poll date.

Zesn’s concerns come shortly after a survey by the Southern African Political and Economic Series Trust (Sapes) and the Research Advocacy Unit (RAU) showed that confidence in this year’s polls is at an all-time low due to the country’s failure to implement electoral reforms in line with international best practices.
