Chigumba breathes fire as Jonathan Moyo releases book which exposes how she rigged 2018 elections

Chigumba breathes fire as Jonathan Moyo releases book which exposes how she rigged 2018 elections. ZIMBABWE Electoral Commission (Zec) chairperson Priscilla Chigumba has lashed out at self-exiled former Information minister Jonathan Moyo for alleging she approached President Emmerson Mnangagwa with a raft of ‘unhealthy electoral reforms’ and was met with a cold shoulder.According to a NewsDay report,


Moyo, in his book titled ‘Excelgate’ to be launched this Friday, which he claims exposes how the 2018 presidential elections were reportedly rigged in favour of Mnangagwa, alleged Chigumba’s proposed reforms included a clause that the Zec chairperson should be appointed through a parliamentary process.In an interview with Zim Morning Post on Tuesday,


Chigumba said she was shocked with the malicious allegations bent on drawing a wedge between her and the appointing authority.“It is shocking that such utterances are coming from a Professor.“There is no provision that allows for Zec to meet with not only the President, but the whole executive and Parliament.“I am a stranger to Parliament,” Chigumba said.She said she reports to the line ministry (Justice and Legal Affairs) and presents Zec proposals to the Inter-ministerial taskforce chaired by Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi.


“On what grounds can I go and meet the President. We simply present proposals to the taskforce who, in turn, sends them to Parliament for debate.“If he alleges I rigged the elections in favour of President Mnangagwa, so how can I then propose to change a bill that will disadvantage me?.“As Zec, we know such unfounded allegations will come and we have become used to that,” she said.Chigumba added that Moyo’s allegations were out of sync with reality.


The only time we presented proposals was in the build-up to the elections and yet Moyo’s time of reference is early this year.“In that instance, our proposal was on the installation of sub-booths at polling stations,” explained Chigumba.Asked on how she was appointed, Chigumba said: “My appointment was done in the same manner like other commissions such as the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission and Truth and Reconciliation Commission.“The president writes to the Chief Justice and asks for four names of any sitting or retired judges who are fit and proper for the particular role

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
