ZEC boss Priscilla Chigumba has admitted that this picture was taken with her consent but flatly denied that it shows political bias. She said that when the picture was taken in February it had no link, connection or association with any presidential election campaign.

“While it is true that I tried on a scarf designed by Miss Celia Rukato, a young Zimbabwean designer whose vision is to build national consciousness and that a photograph was taken with my consent to promote the designer it is baseless and malicious to assert that the wearing of the scarf is therefore a sign of bias. I could not have known or anticipated at that date that 1st respondent would go on to make that scarf his trademark.

This allegation is at one with the misogynistic attacks on my person and professional integrity by the applicant and his supporters,” she said in court papers rebutting Nelson Chamisa's poll win claims.
