Constitutional Court Will Rule In Favour Of Mnangagwa, ZEC: Herald Correspondent

In an article, Herald correspondent Tatenda A Toto argues that the Constitutional Court will rule in favour of President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC).

The correspondent argues that Nelson Chamisa’s petition challenging the Presidential election results will fail because it is not backed by direct or admissible secondary evidence. He also argues Chamisa failed to establish the validity of and the worthiness of the petition in the first place. He argues the changing of figures by ZEC is of no consequence since the result remains the same. Below is an excerpt of the article by Toto:

However, if I was the Constitutional Court, I would still dismiss the petition both on technical issues and on its merits. There was nothing placed before the Constitutional Court that shifted onus upon ZEC and President Mnangagwa in rebuttal.

The “alleged” overly publicised and advertised “damning evidence” that Chamisa said he had was not placed before the Constitutional Court.

Only available were statistical compilations from own and independent sources, not the official records of the election.

There was no convincing technical and scientific evidence on the figures that mattered forming the core of the petition.

Also the petitioner in his summary of facts, evidential material relied on the voters’ roll that was preliminary, which in fact was not the official one also without the said credible scientific evidence and of course direct evidence or admissible secondary evidence.

Judgement is expected to be delivered today at 2PM.
