THE National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) tests the electoral waters on Saturday when they take part in by-elections.
Three wards will be going to the polls to elect office bearers in council by-elections following the deaths of incumbents who were elected on July 31 last year.
The by-elections are slated for Harare Ward 12 in Sunningdale Constituency, Karoi Ward 10 in Hurungwe Central Constituency and Zaka Ward 32 in Zaka East.
In ward 12, Harare, NCA candidate Garikayi Takura will square off with Maureen Nyemba of Zanu-PF, Albert Mponda of MDC-T and Jack Ethen Muzanenhamo, an independent candidate.
Zaka will see Elias Budi Mutava of MDC-T squaring off with Zanu-PF's Togarepi Toruvanda and NCA's Enock Chikamhi. In Karoi town, Solomon Chiwaya Musekiwa of the mainstream MDC-T will fight it off with Fortunate Madamombe of Zanu-PF.
NCA said it had covered a lot of ground in Zaka and Harare where the party was campaigning door-to-door.
NCA spokesperson, Madock Chivasa said the party received hard copies of the voters' roll on Friday.
But Chivasa said the party was not happy that no one was arrested for the recent incident of violence in Mbare where three of their members were assaulted, allegedly by suspected Zanu-PF activists.
He said NCA supporters in Zaka were also facing a lot of intimidation from Zanu-PF supporters.
