By Paul Nyathi|Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) chairperson Priscilla Chigumba has distanced herself from a bogus Twitter account that is posting controversial updates in her name.

In a statement Chigumba said the Twitter account was bogus and created by individuals who sought to create confusion.

“Zec wishes to inform members of the public that the chairperson of the commission, Chigumba, does not have a twitter account,” Zec acting chief elections officer Utoile Silaigwana said.

“The purported account on Twitter attributed to her is fake and a fraudulent creation of unscrupulous elements meant to mislead the public. Zec urges the public to disregard any statements posted on the fake Twitter account.”

Below is one of the controversial messages sent on the Twitter account:

Some critics have attributed the Twitter Account to journalist Edmund Kudzayi who has of late been on Chigumba’s case exposing some very personal information about the ZEC Chairperson.
