|Opposition MDC Alliance President Nelson Chamisa says that his party will announce the election results on its own as they can not trust the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, ZEC.

Addressing thousands of MDC Alliance supporters at the end of a mass demonstration against ZEC on Wednesday, Chamisa said that his party does not have confidence with the electoral body which he accuses of being biased towards the ruling ZANU PF.

“We will announce the results ourselves as we do not trust ZEC who may announce the wrong results,” said Chamisa.

The youthful opposition leader warned incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the ZEC chairperson Priscilla Chigumba not to temper with the results of the elections as it may lead to chaos in the country.

“Voting is national security,” warned Chamisa.

“Mnangagwa and Chigumba must not temper with the election result at all,” he said.

The opposition party delivered a petition to the electoral commission demanding that it reverses the ballot paper printing and involve the opposition parties in the designing and printing process of the ballot papers.

Thousands of the party supporters took part in the demonstration which marched to the ZEC office in the capital city. Scores others MDC Alliance supporters insisted on remaining camped outside the ZEC offices until the commission responds favourable to the demands made by the party.
