Former Harare Mayor Herbert Gomba has been granted 50, 000 Bail by the Harare High Court Magistrate.
Gomba was arrested few days ago by the members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police after he provided false information when registering to vote.
On the first of the charges, prosecutors say Gomba registered as a voter at Ruvheneko Primary School in Glen Norah in 2017 by providing an address where he was not ordinarily resident.
On the second count, the prosecution says between October and December 31, 2017, another 22 individuals submitted affidavits while registering as voters also listing the same residential address as Gomba.
Nine of the registrants share a surname with Gomba.
The National Prosecuting Authority alleges that the 22 were not residents at the stated house consisting of four rooms, including two bedrooms and a combined kitchen, dining room, and lounge.
Meanwhile, Gomba will represent the Citizens Coalition for Change in ward 27, a seat he won comfortably in 2018 before his controversial recall by the MDC-T party.
