Losing MDC Alliance candidate for Chiredzi East Constituency, Sure Makuni has pointed out that there is need for adequate training programmes for the coalition’ s agents in future.

Makuni lost to Zanu PF’ s Denford Masiya in the Chiredzi East Parliamentary election.

Presenting his views on the outcome of the July 30 polls Makuni said there was massive rigging and voter intimidation in the constituency.

“I can say that in future there is need for adequate training programmes for election agents.

In Chiredzi District the training programmes commenced when it was too late to give our agents proper orientation. As a result Zanu PF took advantage of the setback and manipulated the voting system,” said Makuni.

He also argued that there were duplicated serial numbers in the constituency, confusing the electorate and presiding officers in the process.
