Presidential candidate and constitutional law expert Lovemore Madhuku has revealed that if anything happens to any of the presidential candidates, the election process will be nullified.
Madhuku said the person behind the explosion that rocked White City Stadium soon after President Mnangagwa addressed a Zanu-PF rally may have realised this loophole. Said Madhuku:
The State has an obligation to provide security because persons that would want to undermine the election process can actually sacrifice any of the candidates be it a council candidate, be it a member of parliament candidate, be it a presidential candidate because anything that happens to any one of those candidate has an effect. Our law now provides that the death of a presidential candidate nullifies the election process.

is your intention to have one of the presidential candidates killed, so we do not have elections?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
heavens forbid.
