A high turnout of voters during last week's Zanu-PF primary elections has generated immense debate, with analysts warning that the party may use the figures to justify a possible manipulation of the July 31 polls.
The MDC parties said the figures were inflated and served as a template for rigging the elections.
Nhlanhla Dube, the MDC spokesperson said; "They are not a reflection of the true Zanu-PF support base. It is a huge public relations attempt, aimed at mass deception that Zanu-PF still has the power to command huge numbers.
"It is an attempt to prepare Zimbabweans psychologically ahead of the elections."
Douglas Mwonzora, the MDC T party spokesperson added: "The Zanu-PF primary election figures are inflated to prepare for rigging in the elections.
"The figures don't represent the party's support base and are only aimed at creating a template for rigging."
