Electorate doubts police, Zec credibility

THE majority of residents in most of the country’s eight provinces still have a negative perception of police and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) and doubt their capacity to professionally manage next week’s general elections, NewsDay has learnt.

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) in a pre-election survey released in Bulawayo on Saturday, noted that only Harare and Manicaland residents had some modicum of trust in both police and Zec.

The survey also reflected the majority of the population preferred the private media for supply of balanced pre-election reports.
