Party officials say Brian Munyoro cheated during the Chiredzi East voting last month. Four people wrote to leaders claiming he brought boxes with votes already marked for Austin Phikelele, who won with 633 votes. Munyoro refused to talk when asked about these claims. He said reporters should call his boss instead. The group leader, Mavhenyengwa, denied seeing any complaint letters from voters.
Voting ran for just three hours, starting at 11 am, which left many people unable to cast ballots. Officials rushed the process, saying they needed to attend a trade fair that day. The letter claims Munyoro carried extra papers already filled out for Phikelele. Some poll watchers reportedly left their stations during this time. The complaint went to several top party members but seems stalled at leadership levels. The angry voters wonder why their concerns remain unanswered after such clear rule-breaking occurred during their local election.
