A few hours ahead of the 2018 harmonised elections NANGO deployed observers in the sampled 364 of 10985 polling stations in the northern, eastern, western, midlands and southern regions of Zimbabwe.
Unfortunately, political parties, independent candidates and civil society had not received the final voter’s roll from Zimbabwe Electoral Commission. This is deplorable as it is a breach of the Electoral Act.
NANGO continues to call for the nation to uphold peace and tranquillity during the entire electoral process. Political parties, candidates and the general citizenry are reminded to maintain peace, desist from hate speech and observe human rights before, during and after the elections.
NANGO is the umbrella body of non-governmental organisations operating in Zimbabwe. It is an apolitical, non-profit making and non-denominational umbrella body of NGOs in Zimbabwe, founded in 1962. NANGO promotes a proactive community of NGOs that are responsive and committed to the sustainable development needs of all people in Zimbabwe and the full realization of human rights, democracy, good governance and poverty alleviation.
Presented by Wadzanayi Vere, NANGO Board Chairperson and Head of Mission of the NANGO Election Observation Mission on 29 July 2018.
