Nicola Jane Watson (born 10 July 1955) is a Zimbabwean accountant and politician who served as a Member of the National Assembly of Zimbabwe from 2013 until 2023.
[3] On 20 June 2023, Watson was announced as the Citizens Coalition for Change's candidate for Bulawayo South as healthcare practitioner Surrender Kapoikulu was selected by the party to contest the Watson's Bulawayo Central constituency in the 2023 general elections.
[4] The Bulawayo High Court nullified Watson and eleven other Bulawayo CCC parliamentary candidates' candidatures in a court judgement on 27 July 2023, ruling that their nomination papers were submitted after the 21 June deadline and the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission's decision to accept their nomination papers was null and void.

However, Mudenda acknowledged Tshabangu's letter and wrote to the electoral commission on 9 October and informed them that Watson and the fourteen other CCC MPs had ceased to be parliamentarians.
