THE National Electoral Reforms Agenda (NERA) has petitioned President Emmerson Mnangagwa demanding his government implements key reforms ahead of the 2023 national elections.
The petition was also copied to Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi and Speaker of the House Assembly Jacob Mudenda.
NERA chairperson Joelson Mugari to NewZimbabwe.com Wednesday that the need for electoral, media and security sector reforms was now more urgent as Zimbabwe prepares for the 2023 plebiscite.
“These reforms need to be done as of yesterday because they are what determines the outcome of any election in any country,” Mugari stated.
“The government is saying they are implementing reforms but it is just icing on top of the cake, it is not the proper reforms that are required.”
