Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has refuted allegations that it has, in collaboration with Zanu PF, registered a new political party-the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Zimbabwe.

“ZEC does not register political parties. Those with new formations simply inform the commission of the existence of their new parties through a letter accompanied by the party`s logo and constitution.

“Please note that you cannot use an already existing logo and the following prohibited symbols, flame lily, cheetah, elephant, secretary bird, flaming torch, leopard, lion, buffalo, griffon, owl, bird of the prey, cobra, sword, rhinoceros, laurel wreath and axe,” posted ZEC.

Zimeye tweeted alleging that ZEC registered the new opposition party MDC Zimbabwe.

“ZEC has registered another party called MDC, same name as the MDC party led by Nelson Chamisa and it’s based in Gweru. What does that mean,” tweeted Zimeye.

Another netizen, Poto Njere tweeted warning the MDC leaders about the formation of MDC Zimbabwe party.

“The MDC Zimbabwe leaders open your eyes please, Nelson Chamisa, Biti Tendai, Charlton Hwende. The junta has finished writing the Supreme Court Judgement and they registered MDC Zimbabwe based in Gweru in preparation of the chaos they want to cause. ZEC is in complicit,” tweeted Njere.

The leadership for the MDC Zimbabwe party comprises of; Thulani Ndebele who is the President, Lwazi Mbowa (Vice President),Dick Kamuchivende (National Chair), Victor Mpofu (Secretary General),Yasini Chiwisa (Treasurer General) and Revonia Zinzile Moyo Ndlovu (Youth Chair).
