Zanu-PF Are Working With Russians And Chinese To Manipulate The Elections Like In 2013 - Chamisa

MDC Alliance presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa has said that he has intelligence that the ruling Zanu-PF party is working with the Chinese and the Russians to rig the July 30 harmonised elections through the printing of ballots. Speaking at a rally in MArondera, Chamisa said,

We are definitely going to agree on the issue of ballot paper printing. (Zimbabwe Electoral Commission chairperson Priscilla) Chigumba should be serious on that one. We do not want to print the ballot paper, but we need to monitor the printing and agree on the paper to be used. We know what they are doing with the Russians and Chinese. What they did to (Morgan) Tsvangirai will not happen to me. I am a prophet, young and have learnt. We will never repeat the 2013 mistake.

A number of opposition parties have complained that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission refused the parties access to watch the printing of ballot papers.
