Govt plays role in accreditation: Zec

THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) says the Executive plays a key role in the accreditation of election observers.

Zec chief elections officer Utloile Silaigwana, said the Electoral Act was clear on the accreditation of election observers.

Silaigwana made the comments in his opposing papers where human rights activists Musa Kika, Dephin Magaya, Anold Tsunga and Ancelimo Magaya are challenging a decision by Zec not to accredit them.
