Speaking at a media briefing on Monday, MDC Alliance Presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa’s Chief Election Agent, Jameson Timba denied reports that they witnessed the ballot paper printing process.
Timba said the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) did not allow them to go into the room where the actual printing was taking place. Said Timba:
ZEC is lying that political parties witnessed the printing of the ballot paper, of course we were called to go to the Fidelity Printers, and on arrival we were held in a room divided by a glass and then pointed to a machine which was 20 meters away. This cannot be said observing, we do not know what kind of a paper it is, this is not being fair if i am to comment, who knows what they are planning by hiding all this from us.
Timba queried Fidelity Printers’ independence saying the institution cannot be trusted since it is controlled and owned by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government. Build Zimbabwe Alliance (BZA) President, Dr Noah Manyika concurred with Timba and said two unnamed ZEC officials denied his party representatives entry into the actual room where the ballot printing was happening.
