Zimbabwe's war veterans have blamed the MDC Alliance for Wednesday's violence on Harare's streets, reported News24.
Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association (ZNLWVA) spokesperson Douglas Mahiya said supporters of opposition candidate, Nelson Chamisa, should be aware that any of the 23 presidential candidates could win the election.
"Questions abound," he told journalists at a press conference at the Rainbow Towers Hotel, "why did the MDC-Alliance organise violent demonstrations? Why did they think their candidate was the winner and no one else except them?"
He said Zanu-PF had a longer history than the opposition, spanning back to 1963.
"Why would he [Chamisa] think that he would not lose elections against a party that has done their homework? There is no way these parties can turn back the hands of time and get the credit. So the people know what they want and I think we are all going to receive what people chose."
