Abe ERC bathi ukungabi labameli kutshiya uzulu esengozini yokwephulelwa amalungelo akhe besithi kumele kube lokhetho endaweni ezaxotshwa abammeli laba, kungakhathalekile ukuthi ilizwe liphakathi kokumelana leCovid 19.
Obona ngokuhanjiswa komsebenzi enhlanganisweni le, uMnu Solomon Bobosibunu uyachasisa ngalokho.
“Umbiko wethu ngowokuthi ukwenza ukhetho ngesikhathi salolubhubhane ngoba uhulumende labe WHO sebefake iziqondiso zokuba abantu babuthane njani. Ukubuthana lokhu loba kungasikhetho kuyenzakala, inhlangisno ezinengi ziyasebenza, kungakhoke kulohlelo lokwenza ukhetho ngezikhathi ze Covid-19 kumele lulandelwe”
Lokhu kusekelwe ngumkhokheli webandla le Ideas Party for Democracy (IPD) Herbert Chamuka esithi ibandla lakhe lizaqhuba ukhetho lwabammeli balo ngempelavikia lisebenzisa inkhundla zebulenjini, i-online voting okuyinto engasetshenziswa ngu hulumende.
“Kulendlela ezinengi zokwenza ngazo ukhetho, umthetho uthi abantu singabuthani ndawonye ngoba siyathelelana isifo se Covid-19. Zinengi inadwo ezaxotshwa abantu be MDC Alliance lezi ndawo zasala zingela bammeli. Isicelo sami sithi lezo ndawo kumele zibe lokhetho”

“IZEC, isebenza ngaphansi kwemithetho yelizwe. Umthetho welizwe uthi akufuzanga kube lezinto ezigoqela abantu abanengi. Siayzi ukuthi ielection ifuna abantu babe banengi . Simelele ukuthi uhulumende akhiphe imigoqo efakiweyo ukuze sinqobe umkhuhlane we Covid-19”
Asenelisanga ukuthola imibono ye ZANU PF ngaloludaba kodwa umphathintambo wezemthetho uMnu Ziyambi Ziyambi watshela idale lephalamende kunyanga ephelileyo ukuba uhulumende uzalandela iziqondiso ze Covid-19 lokuqakathekisa impilo kulokuba abantu bafe besiyavota.
Indawo ezinengi emadolobheni lasemaphandleni kazisela bameli edale lephalamende ngemva kokuxotshwa kwabameli babo be MDC Alliance libandla le MDC-T elikhokhelwa ngu Mnu Douglas Mwonzora.
I MDC-T yenza lokhu ngemva kwesinqumo sedale le Supreme Court esokuba iMDC Alliance ekhokhelwa ngu Mnu Nelson Chamisa kayisiyo elemvumo yokunqanda abameli bephalamende labamakhansili lokuba uNelson Chamisa kakhethwangwa ngokusemthethweni.

Lalapho selibuyile ijekiseni lokuzivikela leli gcikwane kabakwazi lokuthi bazakwabelwa ngokulingineyo lalabo abalabammeli edale lephalamende. Bathi abeZEC bacatsha ngomunwe nxa besithi kabafuni ukufaka impilo zabantu engozini ngoba amazwe amanengi awezwekazi leAfrica aqhube ukhetho lokudinga umongameli lamalunga edale lephalamende nyakenye lalonyaka okugoqela eleMelika ngasikhathi sinye emelana leCovid 19.
