UN Hopes Election "Truly Reflects" Will of People And Outcome Will Be Accepted By All

Visiting United Nations’ Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs Tayé-Brook Zerihoun on Tuesday said that he hopes that the July 30 harmonised election “truly reflects the will of the people.” Said Zerihoun,

We met with the head of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission [Priscilla Chigumba]. We were given a comprehensive briefing. An encouraging briefing. Certainly, there are issues to be handled and discussed. There is a positive pre-disposition — in my personal reading — in the way things are going. But at the end of the day, the UN agenda is to help countries in their efforts to have as inclusive, transparent, free and fair elections as possible so that the outcome truly reflects the will of the people and therefore accepted by all.
