26 July 2019
Farai Dziva|ZEC chairperson, Priscilla Chigumba has urged the opposition to report cases of electoral malpractice to the police and the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission.
Chigumba has indicated that it is not the mandate of the commission to investigate cases of electoral malpractice.
She was responding to a letter written by the MDC to ZEC – on alleged vote buying by senior Zanu PF officials.
“ZEC has no investigative powers in terms of its mandate- any allegations of electoral malpractice must be reported to the Zimbabwe Republic Police or the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission for investigation and substantiation,” argued Chigumba.
