has been seen from all the reports issued prior to the polling, this climate was seriously flawed. There can be little doubt that there was sustained and illegal pressure applied to political parties and the citizens of Zimbabwe in an effort, overwhelmingly by ZanuPF and its supporters, in order to influence the vote. As we have demonstrated above, this pressure can even be understood to have produced the changes in voting patterns observed. Whilst the analysis of the elections will undoubtedly continue in the coming months, both in the courts and elsewhere, the overall conclusion is unlikely to change: the elections were flawed, unfree, and unfair! No other conclusion is possible. National Constitutional Assembly: THE 2005 PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION. FLAWED, UNFREE AND UNFAIR!
