Voters' Roll Manipulated - ZANU PF

ZANU PF has conceded that the voters’ roll to be used in next year’s general elections has several anomalies.

The party’s central committee report to the 7th national people’s congress held in Harare last week reveals that its legal department conducted a mini-audit of the voters’ roll and unearthed the irregularities. It said:

We received a report of manipulated voters’ rolls from different people. As such, the department conducted a mini-audit of the voters’ roll for Harare West.

The department unearthed several anomalies, including multiple registrants on a single house and non-existent addresses.

However, the time of objecting had elapsed, so we resolved to conduct a national voters roll audit, particularly in towns and cities ahead of the 2023 elections.

CCC spokesperson Gift Siziba said the admission by ZANU PF that the voters’ roll has shortcomings vindicates their claims all along that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) cannot conduct credible polls. He said:

ZANU PF’s admission vindicates our long-held narrative that we have a problem with Zec, and one of the issues that must be resolved before the 2023 elections is the voters’ roll.

We have proffered what ZEC must do in order to conduct a credible election, and it is not imaginary but is within the confines of the law.

People’s Unity Party leader Herbert Chamuka said he was glad ZANU PF “has finally seen the light”. He said:

It is refreshing that the ruling party has finally seen the light and also wants a clean voters’ roll.

However, what is worrying is that it only wants to audit the voters’ roll in towns, leaving it in shambles in rural areas where it is strong.

Last week, ZEC said it will not avail the voters’ roll through the portable electronic mode (CDs) to protect it from possible tampering. | NewsDay
