Zimbabwe’s president recently announced that national elections will take place on Aug. 23.
Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, left, greets a supporter after he had inspected the voters roll in Harare, on Tuesday, May, 30, 2023. Chamisa described the voters roll as"a perennial challenge" and alleged that irregularities include missing names of registered voters as the country prepares for elections to be held on Aug.23.
But after a close-run contest, the Constitutional Court dismissed opposition leader Nelson Chamisa’s claims of vote-rigging. In the spotlight is a bill recently passed by parliament but which must still be signed by the president in order to become law. The legislation calls for harsh punishments of up to 20 years in jail for “unpatriotic acts” such as attending a meeting with foreign agents where issues such as sanctions or the overthrow of the government are discussed.
Another recurring bone of contention is the voters’ roll, which Chamisa described as “a perennial challenge.” Alleged irregularities include missing names of registered voters.
