Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Bulawayo lawyer Sindiso Mazibisa has rejected nomination to represent the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) in general elections set to be held in August this year.<\/p>\n

Mazibisa was nominated to run for the Lobengula-Magwegwe constituency under CCC.<\/p>\n

He, however, declined the nomination saying he had no interest in taking part in politics.<\/p>\n

According to a statement circulated on social media allegedly written by the lawyer, he said did not want to be a politician now or in the future.<\/p>\n

CCC Bulawayo provincial spokesperson Swithern Chirowodza told Southern Eye<\/a> that CCC did not nominate Mazibisa. He said:<\/p>\n

Mazibisa has never been associated with the Citizens Coalition for Change. As such, he was not nominated by CCC but rather by a resident in Magwegwe.<\/p>\n

Bulawayo Progressive Residents Association (BPRA) chairperson Ambrose Sibindi said Mazibisa simply used his democratic right to reject the nomination and should be \u201crespected and thanked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CCC candidate selection process comprises four key milestones: candidate nomination, candidate vetting, candidate caucuses, and declaration of successful candidates.<\/p>\n

The process does not involve primary elections but rather allows communities to select suitable party representatives based on consensus.<\/p>\n

The process was conducted on Wednesday, April 6, 2023, and received an overwhelming response with a 100% success rate in all the 210 constituencies and 1 971 wards according to the party.<\/p>\n

However, the process was also marred by some incidents of violence, imposition of candidates, and logistical challenges.<\/p>\n
