Zanu-PF To Hold Reruns After Rigging Claims In Primary Elections

Zanu-PF will hold reruns for some of its constituencies after massive irregularities in the just ended primary elections. There were allegations of rigging after some constituencies ended up with more votes cast than the maximum number of registered voters. There were also reports of violence and ballot stuffing.

Provincial elections officer, Sydney Nyanungo told NewsDay,

I don’t want to call it a re-run, but there is a stalemate because of the method that was used to distribute the ballot papers … the ballot papers were exposed, which means somebody could have duplicated (sic) because they ended up with excess ballot papers and that is the problem we are rectifying.
