Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox constituencyCowdray Park is a constituency of the National Assembly of the Parliament of Zimbabwe, located in the Cowdray Park suburb of Bulawayo. Created for the 2023 general election, it is represented since a December 2023 by-election by Arthur Mujeyi of ZANU–PF.

Profile

The suburb had a population of 75,000 people in 2022.[1] Most of the constituency is not electrified and has no working sewer system since the community's founding in the mid-2000s.[2]

History

The constituency was created in 2023.[3] The bulk of the seat came from the neighbouring Luveve constituency.[4]

In the 2023 election, finance minister Mthuli Ncube of ZANU–PF was defeated by Pashor Raphael Sibanda of the Citizens Coalition for Change.[5][6]

In October 2023, Sibanda and fourteen other CCC MPs ceased being parliamentarians following a letter by Sengenzo Tshabangu, who claimed to the interim secretary-general of the CCC, in which he wrote that Sibanda and the other MPs had been expelled from the party.[7] Sibanda and the other expelled CCC MPs filed to run in the by-elections scheduled for 9 December 2023; however, the Harare High Court barred them from participating.[8]

In the 9 December 2023 by-election, ZANU–PF candidate Arthur Mujeyi defeated CCC candidate Vusumuzi Chirwa with 53% of the vote.[9]
