Tsvangirai, Gutu make conflicting remarks over ZEC reforms

The MDC-T is rocked by serious clashes over the need to reform the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission ahead of the referendum tomorrow and general elections after party leader Morgan Tsvangirai and Deputy Justice minister Obert Gutu made public conflicting remarks on the issue.

Tsvangirai expressed satisfaction with ZEC's secretariat while Gutu demanded an urgent reform of ZEC saying the militarisation of the electoral body and the continued failure to give legal effect to the appointment of a substantive chairperson is detrimental to the holding of credible elections.
