Public interviews of candidates nominated for appointment as members of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) will be conducted at Parliament on Monday, Bulawayo24.com has learnt.

They were caused by the expiry at the end of March of the terms of office of ZEC members Joyce Kazembe (vice-chairperson), Daniel Chigaru, Theophilus Gambe, Petty Makoni, Sibongile Ndhlovu and Bessie Nhandara.

Parliament called on members of the public to submit nominations to fill the vacancies in February.
