ERC concerned over low voter turnout

THE Election Resource Centre (ERC) has expressed concern over the decline in participation in electoral processes among Zimbabweans, adding that many people stopped voting in protest of recalls of opposition members.

In a statement after the February 3 by-elections, ERC attributed the declining voter participation to a form of protest to recalls.

The ruling Zanu PF won all the seats in the by-elections held in Chegutu West, Seke, Goromonzi South, Mkoba North, Pelendaba-Tshabalala and Zvimba East constituencies.
