The MDC party led by Nelson Chamisa squares up with Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Zanu PF, the state media has laid claim.

The state broadsheet, The Herald presented that the MDC has demanded for BVR slips, ZANU PF style.

The party chairman, Mr Morgen Komichi however defended the requirement saying it was meant to ensure that only registered voters participate in the primaries. MDC-T has raised concern against people being asked to produce voter registration slips saying it was a way of intimidating voters. Komichi said they are not recording serial numbers. Komichi said, ”

“This is meant to ensure that only people who are going to vote in the harmonised elections participate in the primaries. You cannot open it to everyone and include people that are not registered because it will distort the whole process. This is different from what happened in the past because no serial numbers are being recorded.”
