The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has outlined its roadmap towards free and fair elections in solidarity with President Emmerson Mnangagwa's stance that the 2018 elections will be held under a conducive environment for a credible outcome.
In an exclusive interview with ZBC News in the capital, ZEC acting chairperson Commissioner Emmanuel Magade said the electoral body will leave no stone unturned to ensure the forthcoming elections will produce a credible outcome which will be accepted locally and internationally.
The ZEC boss hailed the stance by President Mnangagwa during his inauguration, at the Zanu PF extraordinary congress and in his State of the Nation Address (SONA) and also during his maiden trip to South Africa as testimony that the country is ready for free and fair elections.
The commitment to hold free and fair elections comes at a time Finance and Economic Planning Minister Cde Patrick Chinamasa has set aside a budget of $132 million for the forthcoming 2018 general elections.
