MDC Alliance presidential candidate, Nelson Chamisa said he is giving the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), one week to meet his party’s demands on the printing of ballot papers or the party will seek recourse from the law.
Addressing a press conference Tuesday at the party headquarters in Harare, Chamisa dismissed violence as an option of forcing the elections body to comply. He also said they will not boycott the elections. Said Chamisa:
As far as we are concerned, we have a dispute, we have a stalemate, we have a crisis. We cannot possibly have an election if we do not know where the ballot paper is, the texture of the paper and who printed the ballot paper and the quality of the paper. Infact, I have already indicated in other spheres we don’t have any evidence that the paper was printed in Zimbabwe. We are utilizing the whole of this week. If this issue is not resolved we will not boycott the elections we will seek recourse from the law. It is Zanu PF who will boycott the election, winners don’t boycott an election.
