Former government minister and president of Renewal Democrats of Zimbabwe (RDZ) Elton Mangoma has called for the 2018 Elections to take place without the voters roll. Mangoma said that the voters roll is compromised and in order to avoid rigging the opposition should demand the use of identity cards like what happened at the very first election in 1980.
Addressing delegates at a Coalition of Democrats (CODE) meeting, Mangoma said:
I have always had doubts that this process would bring about a credible voters roll. The latest reports have just now confirmed it ZEC cannot be trusted to produce a genuine voters roll.
I think what we should demand as opposition parties is that we dump the use of voters roll in 2018 and use national identity cards like what happened in 1980
