ZEC extends window for affected candidates to pay nomination fees #ElectionsZW
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has extended the window for candidates who failed to pay nomination fees due to transaction issues.
Various candidates including Presidential hopefuls Linda Masarira and Elisabeth Valerio failed to pay nomination fees due to bank limits and delays in the movement of money.
However, ZEC says those whose papers were submitted but failed to pay should go and settle at the various nomination centres by 17:00hrs today 22 June 2023.
Writing on her Twitter page, Elisabeth Valerio said “It’s been a tragic day! Paperwork done and approved by Nomination court, ZWL $138,531,528 payments made
“Proof of payments submitted. Proof of payment rejected,” she said
Linda Masarira had similar experiences at the High Court where she spent the day moving around between bank and the nomination centre.
