‘Zimbabweans deserve a fresh election’

Zimbabweans went to the polls that were dogged by countless irregularities and complaints against the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) over the way it conducted the election.

A number of voters failed to find their names on the voters roll, voting started late in some polling stations while intimidation and other electoral malpractices were recorded by obsevers.
