LIST: Nelson Chamisa's CCC Candidates For 09 December By-elections
The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa has released a list of its candidates for the 09 December 2023 by-elections.
CCC’s self-styled interim secretary general Sengezo Tshabangu, who triggered the by-elections after recalling the party’s MPs, sponsored parallel candidates in eight of the nine National Assembly constituencies that will be contested.
In a statement released on Sunday, 19 November, CCC said:
Dear Citizens of Zimbabwe, the following candidates are the genuine candidates of the authentic opposition party, CCC, who were illegally recalled by ZANU PF and its imposter. Please vote for them in the upcoming by-elections.
The CCC candidates are listed below:
Bulawayo Metropolitan Province:
Bulawayo South: Watson Nicola Jane (F) CCC
Cowdray Park: Sibanda Pashor Raphael (M) CCC
Lobengula-Magwegwe: Gono Erec (M) CCC

Meanwhile, the candidates sponsored by Tshabangu are as follows: Tendai Chitura Nyathi (Lobengula-Magwegwe), James Sithole (Bulawayo South), Vusimuzi Chirwa (Cowdray Park), Charles Moyo (Mpopoma-Mzilikazi), Ambrose Sibindi (Nketa), Judith Sibanda (Binga North), Davis Nyathi (Lupane East), and Blessing Choeni (Beitbridge West).
Tshabangu did not field a candidate for Mabvuku-Tafara in Harare where the race will be between two candidates Munyaradzi Febion Kufahakutizwi (CCC) and Pedzai Sakupwanya (ZANU PF).
Choeni (Beitbridge West), recently announced he had withdrawn his candidature because he was “not advised” when enlisted to participate in the by-elections.
