Ereck Gono is a Zimbabwean politician who was elected to the National Assembly of Zimbabwe in the 2023 general election for the constituency of Lobengula Magwegwe as a member of the Citizens Coalition for Change. On 3 October 2023, he and fourteen other CCC MPs were recalled as MPs following a letter by Sengezo Tshabangu, who claimed to be the interim Secretary-General of the party.[1] Gono and other MPs disputed the cessation of their CCC party membership and registered to contest the by-elections in their constituencies on 9 December 2023.[2] On 7 December 2023, two days before the by-elections, Gono and the other recalled MPs were barred from contesting the by-elections.[3]
