Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has urged the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) to address Zimbabwe\u2019s \u201cpolitical crisis\u201d and avoid instability in the region ahead of the bloc\u2019s Extraordinary Summit set for Saturday.<\/p>\n

This comes after SADC congratulated President Emmerson Mnangagwa on his electoral victory with Angolan leader Joa\u0303o Manuel Gonc\u0327alves Lourenc\u0327o describing the contested election as \u201cexemplary\u201d.<\/p>\n

poster<\/p>\n

In the recent meeting, Lourenc\u0327o said, \u201cYour Excellencies, allow me to congratulate President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe and His Majesty King Mswati III, the King of Eswatini, for the exemplary elections that were recently conducted in your countries. The tranquility and orderly manner in which they took place constituted a major victory for democracy and a significant contribution to peace, stability, and harmony among all living forces of the Republic of Zimbabwe and the Kingdom of Eswatini.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is despite SADC\u2019s Election Observer Mission stating the polls fell short of regional standards.<\/p>\n

CCC has in response warned SADC of regional destabilisation that can result from Zimbabwe\u2019s political crisis.<\/p>\n

The opposition has maintained the polls were a \u201cgigantic fraud\u201d and has demanded a rerun managed by an independent electoral body and overseen by SADC.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time for decisive regional action. We call upon SADC to uphold their Observer Mission Report and facilitate a process whereby Zimbabwe can regain legitimacy, firmly rooted in the free will of the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will ensure stability in the region and discourage anti-democratic regimes from obstructing the collective will of their citizens. Only then can the regional destabilization stemming from Zimbabwe\u2019s deepening political crisis be resolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe express satisfaction that SADC appreciates its overall Policy Direction and Control Responsibility within the community, particularly in relation to the disputed elections in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, we urge SADC to urgently tackle the genuine risk posed by the sham August plebiscite to regional stability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crisis cannot be disregarded, as it visibly strains social services in neighboring countries and lays the groundwork for widespread insecurity,\u201d said CCC deputy spokesperson Gift Siziba.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, CCC has filed a petition with SADC under its SEAC Dispute Resolution mechanisms, which facilitates peaceful resolution of electoral disputes in the region, aiming to deepen democratic standards and preserve peace and stability.<\/p>\n
