MDC suffers double blow

Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change suffered a double blow today. Judge President George Chiweshe threw out its case disputing the number of police officers who registered for the special vote and the African Union said free and fair elections were possible in Zimbabwe. “According to our observers on the ground we believe that it is possible to have free and fair elections in Zimbabwe. But we cannot guarantee that it will be the most perfect or optimum of situations… The environment in Zimbabwe so far reassures us that that the conditions are good for the election to be held on July 31…The Peace and Security Council has noted the levels of preparation for the election and confirmed that the funding gap has been filled,” Aisha Abdullahi of the AU said.
