ZANU PF officials in Mount Darwin are forcing people to vote for their Mount Darwin West House of Assembly candidate Barnwel Seremwe in a by election currently underway .
The Mount Darwin West parliamentary seat fell vacant after the ouster of former Vice President Joice Mujuru from government by ZANU PF in December.
People who spoke to ZimEye.com, Friday morning said a team of the known ZANU PF officials led by their party district chairperson, one Munyuki, visited every household telling people to go and vote for Seremwe.
“They were threatening us that if we do not go and vote for him (Seremwe) they were going to displace us. This was also happening in wards 17, 20 and 21 where some youths were force marching people to go to the polling stations and vote for Seremwe only,” said the villagers who requested not to be named for fear of victimization.
A rights lobby organization, Heal Zimbabwe Trust which has deployed its officials to monitor the by-elections also confirmed the reports of people being force marched by ZANU PF to the polling stations.
ZANU PF and the Lovemore Madhuku led National Constitutional Assembly party are contesting the by-election which has been boycotted by the MDC formations.

people should not be force marched. they should go voluntarily and vote for the candidate of their choice. being force marched implies they are not willing to vote for the zpf candidate.
these NGOs and MDCs should educate people on this one rather sit and make foolish complaints. they should emphatically tell voters that their vote is their secret.
