The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission @ZECzim has invited all Presidential candidates and their chief election agents to the national results collation center right away to watch the verification of the Presidential results.
Please RETWEET so that all election observers see this!
Dear Election Observers,
I know that you all have translators/interpreters with you, so ask them to confirm for you what I am going to say here.
This is the type of rural intimidation going on in rural Zimbabwe as political parties campaign.
This is a ZANU PF prospective member of parliament for Zvishavane-Ngezi constituency.
He is intimidating rural voters instilling fear in them.
He says to them that their vote isn't a secret at all.
He tells them that ZANUPF will know who they voted for through tracking their ballot paper using the ballot paper serial number.
He said that they will all have their serial numbers taken down, and that this process will involve local village leaders.
This renders the election not Free and not Fair and it implicates the election commission officials because this can’t happen without their compliance.
Please RETWEET so that all election observers see this!
Villagers comply fearing violence and fearing not being given social welfare assistance during the next five years.
🚨 ALERT: Just received reports from Nyatsime, where a group of people (wearing zanu-pf shirts) beat up suspected people who allegedly “stole a speaker”. This must be condemned & we are asking the police to DO THIER JOB to reduce such actions. #ElectionsZW
