Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai yesterday said his MDC-T party had evidence that Zanu-PF youths voted during the two-day special voting exercise that was marred by chaos.
Tsvangirai told a rally in Nembudziya, Gokwe, that the confusion that characterised the elections meant for police officers, other members of the armed forces and civil servants who will be on duty during the July 31 elections, was actually planned.
"They want to steal the elections through the special ballot vote," the MDC-T leader said.
"They had all the 80 000 ballots, but what their intelligence told them was that the police also wanted change.
"They then created an artificial shortage and only released 5 000 special envelopes."
He said Zanu-PF bussed its youths to pose as police officers so as to vote in Mt Pleasant, Harare. The elections that were meant to run between Sunday and Monday only ended yesterday morning in most parts of the country amid allegations of widespread irregularities.
