Biti wants elections by July

Movement for Democratic Change secretary-general Tendai Biti said he would prefer to have elections by July, a month before the United Nations World Tourism Organisation general assembly that will be held the following month. “We think that in all fairness it will be very important for the country to have the reforms and have the elections before the UNWTO, so as far as we are concerned as a party, July will be a good month to have this election,” Biti said. But the country does not have the money to hold the referendum and the elections. Biti, who is also the country’s Finance Minister, said the country only had $217 in its account. Or was this a way to beg for money for the elections from the international community?
