NATIONAL Constitutional Assembly (NCA) leader Professor Lovemore Madhuku has said his party accepts the results of last week's elections and ruled out disbanding the outfit despite its miserable showing in the vote.
Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com, Prof Madhuku blamed the defeat on voters not being aware of his party.
The NCA leader added, "When they voted this time around they were just focusing on these two parties and never bothered to find out about other candidates on the voters' roll.
"So, by the time we reach 2023, voters will know about NCA and what we stood for that differentiate us from other political parties.
The university law lecturer ruled out disbanding the party and also dismissed joining other opposition formations.
Commenting on the presidential results, Madhuku; "As NCA and their presidential candidate I accept the outcome of the presidential results.
"We have no issues with the results, and I also believe that all presidential candidates were voted by the numbers announced.
"I don't believe candidates should choose which results to accept and which results not to accept.
"Why should ZEC only rig the presidential election, and not of all candidates but just one?
"We need to accept the outcome and move forward as a country."
