PARLIAMENT festive season recess will be cut short to allow legislators debate the delimitation report which the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) submitted to President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Monday.
According to the Constitution the report must be tabled before Parliament within seven working days after being presented to the President.
The National Assembly had adjourned last week to January 24 while the Senate was expected to resume sitting on January 31.
Clerk of Parliament, Mr Kennedy Chokuda confirmed that MPs will be called back to discuss the delimitation report.
“Going by the conditions it’s very clear that once the President receives the report, then it will be tabled before Parliament in seven days. Yes, it will come and be debated,” Chokuda said.
Parliament then has 14 sitting days in which to debate the report once it has been tabled in the legislative assembly.
The country will go to the polls this year and the delimitation exercise carried out by ZEC is part of the processes required by law leading to the harmonised elections.
