ZEC was led by its Chairperson Justice Priscilla Chigumba and acting Chief Elections Officer Mr Tongayi Simbarashe.

In her remarks, Justice Chigumba said they were allocated $77 billion for the elections, from a bid of $128 billion but expressed optimism that Treasury would allocate them additional funding through a supplementary budget.
