MDC's anti-rigging unit in crucial meeting

The MDC’s anti-rigging unit today held an urgent meeting at the instruction of President Morgan Tsvangirai to deliberate on strategic electoral matters in light of Registrar-General Tobaiwa Mudede’s proposed nationwide blitz to roll out a countrywide birth and identity card registration exercise starting next Monday.

Consequent to the four-hour meeting by the anti-rigging unit, the party dispatched a high-powered three-member delegation to engage with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission and the Registrar-General’s Office to discuss the modalities and logistics around this important national exercise. The three-member team, to be led by Secretary-General Mr. Douglas Mwonzora, also comprises secretary for Elections Hon. Murisi Zwizwai and the party’s chief of staff, Hon. Sessel Zvidzai.

The party will issue a comprehensive statement after the engagement with ZEC and the RG’s Office.

In the meantime, the party is urging Zimbabweans to turn out in their large numbers to get the requisite national registration cards and other identity documents that will enable them to exercise their right to vote.

2018 Chakachaya!!!  2018 Akuthambanga!!!

Presidential spokesperson and Director of Communications
