By Own Correspondent| The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has cancelled today’s Monday brief to the media.

The reasons behind the cancellation of the presser could not be confirmed.

The ZEC Chairperson Justice Priscilla Chigumba is on record saying the elections body will ensure a free, fair, transparent poll, an assertion which the opposition MDC Alliance has disputed arguing that the ZEC is a biased umpire who is protecting the interests of Zanu Pf.

MDC Alliance principal Tendai Biti told a local publication over the weekend that the Alliance was preparing to take to the streets until election day if the ZEC does not implement the demands of opposition political parties as presented in their petition.

Last week, the Alliance painted Harare red when protestors took to the streets in a peaceful demonstration against “election irregularities by the ZEC” some of which include failure to provide an auditable voters roll with pictures and failure by ZEC to allow political parties to observe ballot printing

“The ZEC is guided and only acts within the confines of the law,” Justice Chigumba is on record saying.
