Zimbabwe Electoral Commission officials announced complete preparations for Saturday's by-elections during a Friday media briefing in Harare. Deputy Chairperson Ambassador Rodney Kiwa stated that logistical arrangements have reached completion for contests in Masvingo Ward 7 and Nkayi Rural District Council Ward 16. Adequate ballot papers have been obtained, and polling stations will commence operations at seven in the morning. Commission leadership emphasized peaceful voting procedures and adherence to established conduct guidelines for all participants. Voters must exercise their democratic rights while maintaining order throughout the electoral process.

Five candidates will compete for the Masvingo Municipality Ward 7 position, while four contenders seek election in Nkayi Rural District Council Ward 16. Both constituencies require new representation after their previous councilors passed away. The electoral authority has finalized security measures and staffing arrangements for both locations. Commission officials expect orderly participation from registered voters in each ward. These local government elections will fill the vacant positions and restore full council representation.
