By Farai D Hove| The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has refused to address among others, the contentious issue of the ballot paper design, re-printing, and the escorting of the ballot papers from storage until the end of the voting process.
The only issue ZEC conceded on was on the demands by political parties to revert back to the traditional polling booth system.
All this was revealed during the Multiparty Liaison Committee meeting in Harare today. ZimEye beamed the function LIVE.
During the session, members of various political parties called on ZEC to revert back to the traditional polling booth system where the booth faces the wall in order to protect the secrecy of the ballot.
MDC Secretary General Douglas Mwonzora spoke out laying several areas of alleged misconduct by ZEC. Most of these have been proved with impeccable evidence. (WATCH VIDEO)
Responding to it all, ZEC Commissioner and Chairperson of the Multiparty Liaison Committee, Mr Qhubani Moyo said ZEC had no problems with that but indicated that after thorough scrutiny, the electoral mother body could not accede to some unconstitutional demands by some parties which include escorting the ballot papers from storage until the end of the process, and testing the ink, among others.
Some political parties accused the electoral mother body of favouring the ruling party, accusations which were immediately rubbished by Zanu PF representatives led by Paul Munyaradzi Mangwana.
