MDC-T to demand BVR voter slips

THE opposition MDC-T party led by Nelson Chamisa will demand voter registration confirmation from supporters who wish to take part in its internal polls, chairperson Morgan Komichi has said.

According to NewZimbabwe.com, Chamisa and his supporters have been crying foul, accusing the ruling Zanu-PF party of forcing rural villagers to produce registration slips from the biometric voter registration process.

But Komichi said while all party members are eligible to vote in the primary elections, there will be strict checks including demands to produce proof of registration as a voter in the ward or constituency one wants to take part in.

He added that the MDC-T is wary of infiltrators, vowing that the party would work hard to flush them out.

He added that the MDC-T already has its roll of members ready effectively putting the lid on the possibility of candidates "hoarding party cards and giving them to non-members".
