Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Blaker (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Malloch-Brown (Labour) on Thursday, 27 March 2008.
Zimbabwe: Elections
- Question
- Whether the current electoral process in Zimbabwe conforms to the Southern African Development Community standards for the conduct of elections.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the conditions for elections in Zimbabwe are poor: the electoral register is not accurate; the electoral commission is not independent; and the opposition parties are not permitted to campaign and hold rallies freely nor are they being given fair access to media. It is important for the credibility of those that do send observers that they ensure that Zimbabwe’s election meets the SADC principles and guidelines.
