MDC call urgent meeting on Zim elections
Zimbabwe Presidential candidate Divine Hove has pulled out of the election race while the main opposition in the country, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), is convening an emergency meeting on Wednesday.
This means now there are only 22 candidates contesting for the presidential seat.
The MDC wants to decide whether it is worth it to run in the elections or not.
This follows a heated meeting on Monday where the Zimbabwean Electoral Commission (ZEC) dismissed the party’s concerns ahead of the poll.
The MDC alleges the ballot paper is compromised and that the ZEC is biased towards the governing party.
MDC Alliance is meeting tomorrow at 10am to decide whether or not to boycott the #ZimElections2018 after Zim Electoral Commission refused to give into some of their demands#ZimDecides2018 @eNCA
