Reply #25: Zimbabwe: Observation Team Plays Down Chances of Fraud

[tbyg52]

The chances of fraud in the presidential, legislative and autarchic elections held simultaneously last Saturday in Zimbabwe "can be set aside".

ANGOP learnt of the information in Harare from the co-ordinator for the electoral observation mission of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) for Zimbabwe, José Marcos Barrica.

The head of the SADC mission said that he based his affirmation on what was observed during the voting process, countrywide.

"We were at 16 polling stations. And what we saw, especially due to the presence of observers and political parties' officials, at least the main parties and candidates, who guaranteed us that everything was in order, we can say that if we analysed until the voting process, there were no reasons to think about fraud," stressed the official.
