Although Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa hasn’t set the official date for elections, the constitution says they’re supposed to be held by August when parliament’s term expires.

MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora has filed a court application seeking the postponement of elections by at least six months.

He said,"the current delimitation report that was gazetted by the president is so faulty that we cannot have an election under that report. We have asked the Constitutional Court to declare the delimitation report invalid and to ask ZEC to redo the delimitation report, and the president must not proclaim elections until that delimitation report has been revised."

"This may entail a slight deferral of the election. This is necessary for the common good we are looking at a deferral of about 6 months." The main opposition CCC has accused Mwonzora of working with the ruling Zanu PF after he was given the green light to fire several of its MPs from Parliament. Mwonzora said,"those people who are accusing us are simple people who are jealous that we may win this case. They just want to pour water on what is clearly a meritorial case."He said,"tt’s a clear side-show, The action that Douglas Mwonzora has taken to go to court is irrelevant to the issues at hand because he has done it in terms of Mugabe’s 2013 constitution of the country which has failed to produce democratic elections.
