The Coalition hails UNDP support to ZEC
Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition
September 30, 2011

Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition hails the condoning towards political, economic and democratic development in Zimbabwe. This follows the recent hand over of vehicles and equipment to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). UNDP together with other stakeholders such as the European Commission, SIDA, and Denmark handed over 11 Prado vehicles, 100 desktop computers, 125 notebook computers and 86 printers to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.

We commend the UNDP for its continued support and hope that ZEC recognizes that such efforts are meant to assist Zimbabwe to deliver a free and fair election. Moreover, the Coalition hopes that ZEC will desist from compromising the country's sovereignty by realising that it plays an important role in advancing sustainable development and democratic elections in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabweans do not anticipate a recurrence of the March 2008 presidential elections scenario where (ZEC) went for nearly two months without announcing election results, plunging the country into anxiety and tension. We do hope that many sincere partners like UNDP will come forward to support ZEC and allow the commission to administer the election in a professional and un-manipulated manner.

We also advise ZEC o use this equipment to expedite the process of coming up with a new voter database as a starting point towards the creation of a new voter's roll.
