RG’s Office frustrating urban voters: CCC

THE opposition Citizens Coalitions for Change (CCC) yesterday accused the Registrar-General (RG)’s Office of deliberately  frustrating urban voters by taking long to issue national identity cards for them to be able to register to vote in the 2023 elections.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) has been accused of working in cahoots with the RG’s Office to frustrate voter registration in urban centres, which have been opposition strongholds since 2000.

After touring the RG’s Makombe office in the capital on a fact-finding mission yesterday, CCC deputy spokesperson Gift Siziba, who was on the tour with other CCC members, told NewsDay that there was an attempt to suppress the urban vote ahead of the 2023 elections.
