We Implore Zec To Comply With The Technical, Administrative Requirements Of Electoral Law: Khupe

Leader of the breakaway MDC-T party Thokozani Khupe has called on the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) to comply with the Constitution and the Electoral Act to ensure a free, fair and credible election. Speaking to the Sunday Mail, Khupe said,

While we continue to pray for ZEC to fully comply with Section 239 of our country’s Constitution in ensuring a free, fair and credible election, we are readying ourselves for this election because we will not concede a penalty for Zanu-PF to score an easy electoral victory.

The electoral field has never been free and fair ever since my party broke onto the political scene, and this time around this problem has been amplified by the fact that we are using a biometric voting system for the first time.

I encourage our supporters to mobilise for a huge turnout even as we continue to implore ZEC to comply with all the technical and administrative requirements they are to abide with as prescribed by our current electoral law, something which is surely within their means.

Zec has come under criticism from various parties for not doing enough to ensure transparency.
