A coalition of 30 opposition parties led by Podemos on 16 November launched the Broad Opposition Front (FAO) to fight for the restoration of electoral truth. Renamo is not part of the group.

The 30 parties are demanding a forensic audit of the electoral process and the subsequent criminal prosecution of the heads of the electoral administration bodies for their involvement or complicity in the fraud in the elections on 9 October

The Broad Opposition Front guarantees that until the Constitutional Council restores electoral justice and truth, it will continue to ‘promote peaceful demonstrations’

The Constitutional Council has still not ruled on the election, and has no deadline by which to do so.

Podemos calls for elections in Zimbabwe to be cancelled

On 19 November, the Podemos party submitted an appeal to the Constitutional Council asking for the elections held in the Zimbabwean constituency to be declared null and void, on the grounds that there were 296,000 voters who did not have the right to vote, because they were Zimbabweans.

The appeal names, for example, five Zimbabwean citizens who voted on 9 October. CIP Eleições had already denounced this phenomenon during voter registration (read more in Boletim 257).

The Podemos appeal is based on a report by the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Southern Africa..
