Elections scheduled for March 29th
Elections have been called for March 29th. Yesterday’s zwnews carries a couple of articles on the topic, including this quote:
“It’s an act of madness and arrogance. What Mugabe has done is a slap in the face, not only of the MDC, but of Mbeki,” said Nelson Chamisa, spokesman for the MDC’s largest faction. “The date for the elections is supposed to be mutually agreed by all parties involved.” He added: “The country is not yet prepared, infrastructurally, logistically and psychologically for this election.”
Please have a look at our ZEW section - Zimbabwe Election Watch - available on our main website and review the data we’ve been monitoring for months now.
Then ask yourself, how can anyone possibly imagine that the elections - held so soon - will be free and fair under these conditions?
