Elections a waste of time -Analyst

A political analyst Tafadzwa Chinheya have said the holding of elections in Zimbabwe was a waste of time as only Zanu PF made sure that it won the polls even it was clear that it was beaten.

"Many general elections have been held in Zimbabwe for a number of times.Some of the opposition parties like Zimbabwe United Movement (ZUM) led by Edgar Tekere were just bogus," said Chinheya.

"MDC came contested and won in 2000 but surprisingly declared lost. Five years down the line,an election was held and it took 4 weeks to announce the winner which was the MDC -T still declared losers."

He said the regime does not allow the referee who is the United Nations to monitor the elections for reason of obviously rigging.

"Sadc which has useless leaders is the only region that has leaders who are invited to monitor these useless elections because they also are thieves Now that we know a container with NIKUV vote rigging material directed to the registrar general seized for close to 6 months at a Durban port,do you see 2018 bringing legitimate elections?" he said. "Perhaps they might transfer it to Angola where they are friends with Museveni.This time we are blessed to have many parties I don't think they will be stupid enough to have an election if we are to compromise hunger till 2018 without UN."
