The MDC-T takes note of the summary statement of the SADC Election Observation Mission on the just ended election that was presented in Harare today.
However, the MDC-T notes with grave concern the report's failure to properly put into context the ignomity and magnitude of problem presented by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission's failure to avail the voters' roll to candidates on time.
The report is also silent on many other irregularities such as chaotic voter registration, shambolic special vote exercise, fake voter slips, bussing of voters, high number of assisted voters, is in all intends and purpose highly fictitious, totally inaccurate and incredibly unscientific.
It is clear that the people's vote was stolen and SADC has once again let the people of Zimbabwe down by failing to condemn this rigging which took place.The MDC position is that the just ended elections were not free, fair and credible and we demand that fresh elections which meet SADC and international standards be held.
