The opposition parties supporter Kennedy Kaitano of Mutare has said considering the continuous rigging and and flawed processes of elections being conducted in Zimbabwe the MDC formations were right by boycotting the polls as it serves no purpose to participate in an elections where its obvious that Zanu-PF will win through undemocratic means.

"If you want to achieve different results, you have to do things differently," he said.

"I am one of those who initially thought that the MDCs should have contested the by-elections caused by the MDC Renewal officials elected to parliament on the MDC-T ticket as Zanu-PF seemed to be at its weakest point due to it's seemingly unending infighting, but having thought carefully about the direction the country is going, I am now fully supportive of the MDCs decision to boycott all future elections before electoral reforms are made."

Kaitano said electoral fraud has been the biggest set back for the MDCs in previous elections, which have all along been calling for reforms with their calls falling on Mugabe's deaf ears.

"It is time they called for the reforms in different fashion, and I now strongly support Morgan Tsvangirai's rallies for No Reforms No Elections," he said.

"The MDC-T President's message has been that people should not go and vote, but when they are forced to, they should go and spoil the ballot by writing No Reforms No Elections. I think it could be even better if the call is for all people to go and spoil the ballot by writing No Reforms No Elections, that way, it will be proven beyond reasonable doubt that Zimbabweans as a whole are tired of Zanu-PF rigging."

He therefore called upon all Zimbabweans registered in the constituencies that will have elections, including the MDC Renewal officials who chose to leave parliament by forming another political party to go and spoil the ballot by writing No Reforms No Elections.

"It may become clearer to the Zanu-PF election thieves that they dirty tricks are unwanted, and to the rest of the world that people of Zimbabwe know that Mugabe and his party are electoral thieves who do not deserve to be in power," said Kaitano.

"Mugabe and Zanu-PF must go, but they will not give it away easily, knowing how rich they have made themselves through corrupt activities."

He said to all Zimbabweans who are crying for better life, to all Zimbabweans who are tired of Mugabe and Zanu-PF dictatorship, his message is Change Demands Action.

"Whether you are in MDC (lead by Professor Ncube), MDC-T or MDC Renewal, here is an opportunity to push for your party's position regarding no elections without reforms. Go and spoil the ballot," hev said.
