Opposition parties taking back seat in voter education: CSO’s

CIVIC society organisations (CSOs) have rapped opposition parties for failing to play an active role in encouraging people to register as potential voters in the ongoing biometric voter registration (BVR) blitz, which ends tomorrow.

Addressing journalists in Bulawayo on Monday, CSO leaders said the absence of opposition players in the BVR campaign had somehow contributed to the low turnout at registration centres.

Women in Leadership Development chairperson, Samukeliso Khumalo, said citizens had lost confidence in the voting process owing to the non-participation of opposition parties in voter education.
