Zimbabwe held 28 Parliamentary and 122 local government by-elections on March 26.
On Monday, NewsDay reported: “The recently-formed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa shocked the MDC Alliance, grabbing 22 National Assembly seats out of the 28 which were up for grabs, while the Douglas Mwonzora-led party failed to win even a single local government seat in the by-elections held at the weekend.”
FACT CHECK: CCC, in fact, won 19 seats, which its candidates won under the MDC Alliance in 2018. ZANU PF won nine of the seats on offer.
The following is a complete list of the winning candidates (highlighted) who contested for 28 parliamentary seats in the by-elections.
Of note is that only five constituencies were won by women candidates in the polls.
