The MDC Alliance national spokesperson advocate Fadzayi Mahere in a statement slammed the decision by ZEC to exclude the Nelson Chamisa led party was evidence that the electoral body was captured.
“The only explanation for this unusual conduct by Zec is that they (officials) are being unconstitutionally influenced to try and decimate the main opposition to serve the interests of a few elites. The people will not allow this to happen.
“The citizens are converging for change and a resounding six million strong victory for the people’s president, advocate Nelson Chamisa.”
ZEC spokesperson Joyce Kazembe confirmed that the country’s largest political party was excluded as there was a wrangle regarding the MDC Alliance name hence they could not invite the party until the issue is resolved
“We did not extend our invitation to MDC Alliance to be part of a stakeholder meeting because the matter regarding the name MDC Alliance is still before the courts,” she said.
“Now we don’t know who MDC Alliance is before the court’s final judgment, hence we could not invite MDC Alliance. We can’t acknowledge it until the court judgment. As it stands, we await the court judgment to be able to work with MDC Alliance, just like other political parties in Zimbabwe,”Kazembe said.
However,ZEC invited other parties including the Douglas Mwonzora led MDC-T.
