Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa says his party will consider boycotting next year’s elections if the voters roll remains in shambles.
He told The Standard in an interview : “We have been there
(during the by elections) to test the environment and also to test Zec’s
sincerity, but that test has left questions. If there is no credible voters’
roll, we are telling citizens that it's something that will be a deal breaker. We
will not allow an election that has no credible voters’ roll in this country.
“There can't be a credible election without the access to
an electronic voters’ roll, a credible one that is audited. The voter's roll
must be audited by all parties.”
Zanu PF secretary for administration Orbet Mpofu said Zec
has the responsibility to ensure stakeholders have access to a credible
voters’ roll. Zanu PF has never interfered with the process. As Zanu PF, we
can't comment on the voters' roll because we are aware Zec is still working on
it and has not yet released the document.”
