HARARE – Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) should build the confidence of all stakeholders and stop being dismissive, militant and intransigent when confronted with evidence of electoral malpractices, analysts have said.This comes after Zec last Friday trashed social media reports alleging irregularities in postal voting currently underway ahead of the July 30 presidential, parliamentary and municipal polls.Zec chairperson Priscilla Chigumba told a meeting of accredited observers and journalists in the capital that postal voting was beyond reproach and done in accordance with the law.The opposition MDC Alliance on Thursday raised alarm that postal voting by police officers at Ross Camp in Bulawayo was done under the supervision of police commanders, in the absence of election agents and Zec officials in a bid to rig the upcoming vote for the ruling Zanu PF. Chigumba said according to the law, there was no role for candidates, political party representatives or observers in postal voting.This came soon after Zec was smarting from scandal over leaked data that enabled the ruling party to send personalised, unsolicited campaign messages to potential voters’ mobile phones.The opposition said the data leak “proves beyond reasonable doubt collusion between (the election commission), Zanu PF and mobile networks” given that it was denied the voter register by the commission.Media analyst Rashweat Mukundu said Zec must improve its communication and accountability, which he said has been found hugely wanting so far.“The MDC demands for more transparency on ballot paper printing, the voters’ roll are within their rights and the electoral management body has a responsibility to meet and explain itself to key electoral stakeholders as parties and voters.“Zec’s responses have been rather bellicose and condescending.No matter how provoked, Zec has no room to go political in its responses as they are doing now,” Mukundu said.Political commentator Rejoice Ngwenya believes the onus to prove poll legitimacy is on President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Zec.“The arrogance and self-centred shameless intransigence of Zec is brewing one stew — post electoral illegitimacy and contestation, if not conflict.“If MDC Alliance is contesting the provenance of ballot papers, in the name of transparency, Zec must prove that the paper is non-corruptible.Chigumba’s reputation is in tatters.She
