Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa on Sunday declared war on the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) citing that it should address allegations of manipulating the voters roll and alleged mismanagement of elections.

Addressing thousands at Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield, Chamisa said he has been tipped off by some senior government officials that the document was being tampered with.

“We commissioned experts to analyse the voters roll. I had been tipped off by some senior government officials that the document was being tampered with. We have infiltrators in government departments — we have infiltrated all government departments,” Chamisa said.

“We will not let Zec get away with its manipulation. Starting with this by-election, if Zec does not address these anomalies, it will not be well. There will be instability in the country. On the issue of voter manipulation, do not panic. We have strategies.

“The first strategy is to ensure that Zec policies are compatible with the Constitution. If they don’t heed our demands, then we will take legal remedies. But we know that the courts may not be able to deliver justice fairly. We have our own solution. We will go to the streets. We will protest against Zec.”
