Two So far, Protagonist Chamisa and Mnangagwa file their nomination papers
The two main protagonists in the August 23 general elections – President Emmerson Mnangagwa (Zanu PF) and Nelson Chamisa (CCC) – have filed their nomination papers in advance of tomorrow’s sitting of the nomination court after paying the US$20,000 fees, their parties confirmed.
The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) presidential candidate, Nelson Chamisa has successfully submitted his nomination papers at the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) offices in Harare.
This development comes after the opposition party claimed that several of their candidates have been intimidated by alleged Zanu PF members.
Chamisa confirmed he had successfully filed his nomination papers on Tuesday afternoon.
“Presidential Candidate Nomination Papers Filed!! Have just successfully filed papers at ZEC. It’s all systems go! A New Great Zimbabwe is loading,” he announced on Twitter.

“The payment of US$20 000 was duly settled. It’s officially Game Time! We are ready to win Zimbabwe for change!,” said CCC
On the other hand, CCC has claimed that some of their recently announced candidates had been intimidated.
