MDC-T party chairman Mr Morgan Komichi confirmed that the party is demanding voter registration slips from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) for one to vote in the party’s primary elections.
Komichi defended the requirement saying it was meant to ensure that only registered voters participate in the primaries. MDC-T has raised concern against people being asked to produce voter registration slips saying it was a way of intimidating voters. Komichi said they are not recording serial numbers. Said Komichi:
This is meant to ensure that only people who are going to vote in the harmonised elections participate in the primaries. You cannot open it to everyone and include people that are not registered because it will distort the whole process. This is different from what happened in the past because no serial numbers are being recorded.
