The same point is reinforced by the present analysis, and compounded by the results of the 2005 election, where ZANU PF took back seats from the MDC lost to them in 2000, and even more perplexing when it is considered that ZANU PF did very well in many constituencies in the March 2008 poll. We will return to this point later. In both elections, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the MDC were the major victims of the organized violence and torture, and the violations against the MDC increased dramatically from April to May, as, inversely, the number of “unknown” persons, inflicting personal injury or material damage decreased equally dramatically. Table 4 Comparison of alleged victims: 2002 versus 2008 MDC ZANU PF Unknown 2002 52.8% 1.4% 39.3% 2008 85.4% 0.3% 2.1% As can be seen from Figure 5, there are no differences between the two elections in the major perpetrators reported, with ZANU PF supporters and war veterans [ZNLWVA] the overwhelming majority of the alleged perpetrators.41 There was a significant difference however in the reporting of the frequencies of the ZRP and ZNA; there were a significantly greater number of ZNA members reported as alleged violators in 2008, and significantly fewer ZRP members reported in 2008. 42 Figure 5 Comparison of alleged perpetrators: 2002 versus 2008 41 42 There were differences in the two data sources that did not allow the 2002 data to be disaggregated into ZANU PF Youth or ZANU PF supporters, so these two groups were combined for this analysis. 2008 v 2002: ZNA [p=0.001]; ZRP [p=0.01].
