Introduction

The month of August saw the unfolding of a number of political developments in Zimbabwe. The SADC Summit in Namibia, the Kenyan referendum, the sad passing on of the Minister of State in the Organ of National Healing Mr Gibson Sibanda among others. Elections remained high on the political agenda as evidence by various media reports on Zimbabwe's readiness for elections. This update provides an analysis of events that transpired during the month of August 2010 and their implications on Zimbabwe's electoral processes.

The Zimbabwe Election Support Network remains dedicated to the promotion of democratic elections in Zimbabwe. In line with this objective, we continue to analyse the political environment and the 45 rural constituencies that have been systematically selected. The constituencies were especially selected owing to a number of reasons including those where by-elections are long overdue, areas that experienced inordinately high levels of political violence in the 2008 elections as well as constituencies in which candidates succeeded by notably small margins. This update is informed by observations from the chosen constituencies and broadly captures national political developments in August 2010.
