MDC defies Chihuri

HARARE- The main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) has defied the state saying it will announce the results of the ongoing elections “as they come”.

The party’s secretary general Tendai Biti told journalists this afternoon tha
t it was not unlawful for political parties to announce the results of the polls.

“There is nothing wrong for anyone to announce the election results”, said Biti. “What would be wrong would be to announce incorrect figures and I would want to challenge anyone to question us if we release incorrect figures”.

Biti’s remarks come a day after the Commissioner General of the Police, Augustine Chihuri, had decreed that no party would be allowed to announce the poll outcome. Chihuri said the results were only going to be made public by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.

Meanwhile, Biti said his party had unearthed elements of vote- rigging in the ongoing synchronized presidential and legislative polls.

Biti claimed there were a lot of assisted voters in several parts of the country while hundreds of people have since been turned away because “they are said to be alien”.

The opposition official also alleged that his political formation had received a report from independent parliamentary candidate aligned to former finance minister Simba Makoni’s project, Ibbo Mandaza, that six boxes containing postal ballots had been discovered in Mazowe.
The Zimbabwe Guardian had yet to verify these claims at the time of going to press.

MDC Polling Agents Barred From Polling Stations

Opposition polling agents have reportedly been denied access to voting stations in Bikita West constituency amid reports that the anti-riot police squad has been deployed and allegedly victimizing suspected opposition voters.

This follows the arrests of 10 activists in the area yesterday. Reports suggest that one of the activists, Simba Chivasa suffered a fractured leg after he was allegedly assaulted in custody at Bikita Office Police Station.

“The riot police stationed in Bikita are reported to have been deployed from Masvingo, leading to their arbitrary threats on the polling officers”, according the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition. “The polling agents had to flea for their dear life, deserting the polling stations”.

At the time of going to Press, the agents had not returned to their polling stations while voters continued to cast their ballots.

The coalition said the denying opposition polling agents access to polling stations was clear evidence that President Robert Mugabe’s administration was “determined to manipulate the already flowed process in its favour”.

Gospel musician Elias Musakwa of Zanu PF is contesting the Bikita West constituency seat against Heya Shoko of the Movement for Democratic Change.

Mugabe is also contesting the presidency against his former finance minister Simba Makoni and long-time rival Morgan Tsvangirai of the main opposition MDC. Little-known Langton Towungana is also vying for the country’s top job

In Harare, meanwhile, some potential voters decided not to join the polling queues but were instead queuing for basic commodities such as bread and sugar.

Harare, like many urban areas, is believed to be an opposition stronghold.

Some polling stations in Highfields – the ceremonial home of people power – opened some minutes late while some voters said the had joined the queues as early as 0400 hours. Others complained that the voting process was slow with polling officials saying this was because they only had one voters’ roll at every polling station.

It was taking about two minutes per voter to cast four ballots.

Zimbabweans today are electing councillors, members of the House of Assembly, the Senate as well as the president.

Mugabe has been in power since independence from Britain in 1980.

ELECTION WATCH: SMS Mockery For Mugabe

Zimbabweans are using the Short Message Service (SMS) to mock the longest serving President in Africa, Robert Mugabe as the crisis-riddled country began one-day polls to elect a new head of state, senators, parliamentarians and councilors.

Despite the high cost of sending text messages, Zimbabwean people are sending each other various messages depicting Mugabe as an opposition after April 1.

One of the messages read: “News Headline on 1 April 2008 – Mugabe has begun his new life as the leader of Zimbabwe’s main opposition. The 84 year-old former president has vowed to fight back into office in elections due 2013”.

Another message read: “Do you know of anyone offering four bakkies for hire? Someone offering huge sums in US dollars wants to hire the trucks to relocate from State House to Zvimba”

Zvimba is Mugabe’s rural home.

A number of Zimbabweans have in the past been arrested and charged under the Criminal Law and Codification Reforms Act for insulting the person of the presidency.
