Figure 6: Chiwindura’s 2008 election results. Chiwundura has been predominantly a ZANU PF safe seat since the 2005 elections. In 2008 the MDC-T lost the National Assembly by-election for the same constituency because the party fielded two candidates, who collectively garnered 5,934 votes which outnumbered the 5,864 votes received by the ZANU-PF candidate, albeit by only 70 votes. This represents the closest the party has come to regaining the seat. In 2013, ZANU-PF won the seat with an even bigger margin of 3,880 votes. 9. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations 9. ZESN calls upon ZEC to issue a public statement on the anomalies with the voter register that have been reported in the media and to clarify whether they pertain to the 2013 voters roll or the current voters’ roll for the Chiwundura Constituency. 10. ZEC should prepare a new voters roll for use in the 2018 elections and discontinue the use of the 2013 voters roll so as to enhance stakeholder trust and confidence in the ZEC and in future elections. 11. ZESN urges the Registrar General to investigate irregularities relating to the existence national registration documents which contain details of persons with the same name and surname, date and place of birth but with different identification numbers and photos as well as the invalid identity numbers and to rectify these issues, as they are the institution in charge of issuing the national identification documents. 12. Deliberate efforts should be directed towards targeted voter education for the youths in order to increase their participation in electoral processes. 24 | P a g e
