Introduction

This period was marked by a number of critical political developments at the domestic level as well as at the regional level. At the domestic level, Parliament opened amid reports of violence and surprising revelations from WikiLeaks, the contents of which astounded the electorate. The main question is what the implications of these events are on Zimbabwe's political landscape as Zimbabwe heads for elections. SADC's decision to boost JOMIC by providing three delegates appears to have exposed the cracks in the GNU. Zambia's tripartite elections demonstrated its maturity to a democracy. This ballot update provides an analysis of these issues and their implications for elections in Zimbabwe.

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 in the 210 constituencies where observers are deployed. This update is informed by observations from these constituencies and broadly captures national political developments in Zimbabwe.
