10:06 pm
remit there are many candidates we reduce our chance for one candidate to have the majority in the first round so we don't have to. the luxury to be many so i plead for everybody to be united. and have one candidate and you know finally there's a lot of the country right now especially when you know the electoral commission is still registering kind of. it's coming from president. the president joseph kabila and his intention a lot of people are waiting to see whether he's going to lodge his papers as well are you worried about that what's going to happen if he does logic speed. to be those the government of the constitution means that he's the one to guarantee that you'll be respected and you know heard that you want to present himself. so i'm just with you now as a guarantee because it usually will make respect the constitution all right thank

10:09 pm
a ban has said this is not doing which leaves eisel is the primary suspect they do operate from pub to province they operate from province which neighbors as well with they have been a number of attacks against civilians in recent months and then they have also targeted shia hilly in the last twelve months there were two attacks here in kabul in march in which thirty seven people died in suicide attacks and then last year there were four quite significant attacks against shia all in kabul more than one hundred people died and i saw claimed responsibility for all of those attacks thank you very much for that and now that shell about us live in kabul now turkey and the united states have have agreed to sort through issues that are causing tension between the two countries foreign minister coverage solo and secretary of state mike pompei all met on the sidelines of the summit and singapore china sort of described to me thing as constructive well the u.s. imposed sanctions on to turkish government ministers protest of the detention of
10:10 pm
a u.s. pastor accused of terrorism turkey has said the sanctions on acceptable. deluded that we have said from the start but the other side threatening language and sanctions will not get any result we repeated this today. we might pump a we discussed how to solve issues how to take steps together it was an extremely constructive meeting there may be tensions and differences of opinion between countries but turkey always wishes to solve problems through diplomacy and dialogue mutual understanding and agreements. we're taking you back live to the zimbabwe and capital harare now where we're expecting to hear from opposition leader nelson chamisa there he is waiting for him to address media following the electoral commission announced saying that the ruling zanu p.f. both the parliamentary vote and also the presidential vote so far nelson chamisa has said that he doesn't accept these results and that he won the popular vote so
10:11 pm
we've had the electoral commission following the vote on monday i believe it was the election giving a two thirds parliamentary majority to the rulings on m.p.'s and saying that. got more than fifty percent of the presidential vote let's go now to harare and listen then to nelson chamisa. greeting you all for coming here to this very important press conference for us which is a turning point press conference i wish to start by acknowledging the problems with heads with the police trying to block. or disrupt this press conference so if they can actually do this one press conference much more on activities of ordinary citizens who want to apologize on behalf of the people of zimbabwe particularly to the international journalists this is unacceptable this is
10:12 pm
unnecessary but this cannot be the behavior of a people we have one it can only be a behavior of those who have lost it is for this reason not to want to underscore that is an m.d.c. alliance but for the past two three days we have been subjected to all sorts of virus meant persecution intimidation in fact just yesterday our offices were invaded we don't know what reason because they wanted to take some information the reason why probably they want to take information from us is because they wanted to try and destroy the evidence that we have in terms of our part of what the tabulation which you have collected across the whole country unfortunately we have all become so they did not take everything we already have that information is stored which is going to be very useful for the veracity or far out what we are alleging i must also underscore that most of our leaders have been visited some
10:13 pm
have been threatened in the various provinces or not conned of them having participated in an election we are not a militia we are not a military organization where democratic organization we do not believe in violence we do not believe in and we do not believe in use of we point of war again is anyone and this is why we find it very difficult that the thank you we are getting for being peaceful they thank you we'll get. for being law abiding is that think you of willis is they think your guns is they think your bones is it think you have grenades is a tenth of tanks on the streets clearly indicating that our colleagues in the nuclear. panicked because they were defeated in this election they are not confident of the citizens this is why they can fire live ammunition on citizens who are going about doing their only things and this is a very serious issue we have to take up not just with one of here but also take up
10:14 pm
with the government and of course to take it to international platforms so i just thought that i needed to i like this because this is strange times you don't give bullets tanks guns to those who have voted for you you give celebration and you believe but if you go around the country you will find that there is not jubilation there is no celebration if anything today is a day of mourning mourning over democracy it is a black day because we are seeing a repeat of what we saw during the yesteryear regime depreciation of people as we are reading of the will of the people my new plaiting the results bastardizing the outcome of the elections and in no way trying to negate what people fight for it again is the will of the people people voted overwhelmingly i must say i want two things in public for being very peaceful i wanted things about wins for their patients i want two things involved wins for being tolerant you stood in the queues
10:15 pm
you waited for a long time professional i was young people and women thank you zimbabwe you have done from dust to color well it's not easy under circumstances of rigging circumstances of much much nations with managed to score over two million votes even by their own bus the days tally with done exceptionally well thank you zimbabwe you are exceptional you are teaching the world well it is possible that it is possible to be democratic we want to thank you as we go. all through this very difficult time i must also emphasize that we want to thank our journalists yes in the international community thank you you have sean that you are able to show us the possibility of another world you have covered us so well in this election thank you very much we'll get to beauty we appreciate it our various observer missions thank you also we're standing with the people of zimbabwe we want to thank you for what you have done yes there's been disappointment who said of the reports that
10:16 pm
would want to level or conclude that this election was princess when we actually feel that there's any chance for free and free and fair election evidently absent and this is why at this particular moment in time i want to underscore that we have a very serious challenge in this country we are facing a divided nation we are facing a betrayed nation we are facing divided people and we are also facing a brutalized people and this is why i think it's important that in the context of this in public for a commission declination of him someone god is having won the twenty eight twenty eight in prison your election yesterday is such a regrettable decision and i must say that mr non-god what did not win the election in this country then election in this country was won by the m.d.c. alliance presidential candidate and we won that election in fact we have our tally which tell you we are ready to give those who want to see the tally we have engaged
10:17 pm
we want to give them the tallies but of course they didn't want even to listen to us they actually misled our chief election i did mr comey to say that we are going to have a verification of the study six before we are not the result of us kept on waiting in a room only to be told that the results were already being announced when they were almost a quarter way into announcing the results something that we do not take lightly because in terms of the law we are supposed to have the verification all of the statistics that verification was not done it was done you could be mostly nocturnally it night behind katyn and of course in cahoots with zanu p.f. and we take this as a serious. it is very telling ladies and gentlemen distinguished colleagues that then election result itself was announced and the date in the dead of the night when we were having people being beaten up in the high density why depending who was as deplorable people were being beaten up just this morning i received news
10:18 pm
that one of the victims i visited yesterday died because he went for a surgery he had a bullet through his heart and they thought that they were going to be able to rescue his life unfortunately passed on increasing again the number of people we date there's been an attempt to try and link them to satellites to the disturbances that happened in the cities and we have nothing to do with that we deplore violence this is why we have encouraged citizens and we are encouraging citizens to make sure that you are come to make sure that your men tending pice but to remain vigilant to protect your vote as we engage and continue to engage in terms of the direction that we are going to take i must also indicate that the has been a misunderstanding that is the correct answer is this election as far as we're concerned this election. it is a prison your result is fraudulent illegal illegitimate and conduct
10:19 pm
arise by serious credibility gap and some seriously you may see issues that are if you must be raised we must place it on record without equivocation that we won this election and that because we won this election we're already ready to form the next government subject to the process is that we are going to pursue in terms of protecting the will of the people there will of the people is not in the declination by goombah their will of the people is not in the declaration basic their will of the people is in the declination by their vote up at a polling station where people voted and that is what we are going to own whom not or not something that is now in void like a declaration that was done but you can buy so sick to negate and nullify that illegality for what it is and will pursue or the necessary measures to be able to do it i must say also that by our intellects acceptable election result will not be a lot just a comma did the experiences that have nothing to do with it or not in the people in
10:20 pm
terms of the law and in terms of their wheel acceptance of an election and the result is a function of the integrity of the result itself and the transparency of the process you are aware that we raise issues around the process we raise issues around the outcome and we continue to raise the issues we have raised this in the context of fire him. sorry we have raised it in the context of our parliamentary election we are going to be challenging in number of electoral results we have someone to our members of parliament there were already given us a report of certain illegalities mob practices were done and we are going to be pursuing this matter to make sure that we get to the logical conclusion we actually got the majority and it not been for the manipulation in the parliamentary election we did exceptionally well you will see on the telly in the parliament when once we
10:21 pm
begin to unpick some of the problems that we have seen that alliance structures are currently working around the clock with the legal teams political and diplomatic and that i express to roll out their robust program of fiction to ensure that we protect their will of the people we have the capacity and that capacity is going to be rolled out we want to advise mr gubb that if it is actually. the men of integrity as he is claiming to be if he is a born again in terms of democracy if the new one democrat on the block lead him or not his promise and pledge for a free and fair election and to resist and reject accepting their results that is not in favor of him he knows there isn't you got a report of the result and that he had lost the election on monday you must be honest and sincere and you must just accept to give way to the new order the people voted for you must allow this young man to do is job which i was elected by the
10:22 pm
people of zimbabwe to do earmarks not accept corrupted you know results which are meant to disadvantage you know the nation but advantage a particular elite that seeks to subvert the will of the people so i hope that means someone governor is going to be open for business the business of transparency the business of accountability they do. this business of making sure that we have the proper lection results in this country i must say that in the meantime there are things that we have noted that are so particularly important even if we had to go to court we know that our courts have had problems in the past but even if we had to go to court we have so much evidence just to to show how this election was rigged in favor did not do a good job just a point eight requires us to just raise thirty thousand votes of those that they actually inflated and they've inflated just look at any they deflated
10:23 pm
a few guys was close to about twenty thousand and then inflated mr i'm not god was votes this is why they didn't want to go to their constituents by constituents announcement but they wanted to go to the block provincial announcement and they were going to be challenging that there is considerable eyewitness video evidence that is suggested that certain ballot boxes of which sake is the custodian where you know in open trucks are combined by pulling of science or the police and that evidence is going to be provided appropriate time in addition these videos expose the fact that this ballot boxes with suit were not suit and not temporal. feda the ballot boxes do not have eleven forms which should be attached infective eleven forms have been altered some of them have actually been pro produced in several of forms and we are going to raise this fraud this election as you know we have had problems with the sec which has proved to be opec partisan. obstinate
10:24 pm
and conflicted in favor of zanu p.f. and their b.s. if not that he didn't hand of a third force which were investigating this has been noted in the op let him not report and even the playing not of course of set and credible observer missions i must say that even in the face of much nations by exactly to try and beat teams i'm not gonna go off a bit advantaged when he didn't even i value of that sort they have again seen that this is not worked and this is why we managed to beat him in an election that is a liability to our information provided by is it itself is actually questionable you know that if we had to announce the results that i invented for example in chad west where they need to change upon it and look for a court challenge we have also seen what happened in the newspapers reported by their own paper they head out that two hundred ten thousand five hundred fifty four
10:25 pm
people voted in my central as of six pm on election day this report was published it is to be juxtaposed with the final results we now hear being announced or four hundred eighty three thousand four hundred twenty three i can tell you that you guys are very much a book with a sick they are very very very liberal with the movement of you guys and this is why we wanted to make sure that we do the final final tally verification which did not happen when you recall how the two reports there were two hundred seventy two thousand eight hundred seventy nine votes more than the total votes which were cast in the last hour of watching between six and seven. of the fourteen day and none one wonders what this is all about but it will also be exposed there was also an issue where you have seen our soldiers who are highly disciplined was supposed to do things that are proper firing live ammunition we have not had from government
10:26 pm
why they have done to make sure that they repeat a month or deal with this culprits who caused the loss of lives what we are hearing is an accusation on the m.d.c. alliance the last time i checked we have not been sworn in to be the commander in chief we do not command the military force where yet but we are not here today and this is why we want those who are in charge in the interim the outgoing government the outgoing president will go to make sure that he owns up on those who killed innocent citizens and he apologizes to the people but he compensate the families of those people who actually perished instead of saying it was them these are lies i hear that they were forcing one of their relatives to say no it was a knife a step by you know when it is clear that is a gunshot you want to try and run away from some of these problems don't worry we are covered by the holy ghost. and we thank god for this protection thank you very much. again as it's been noted by the
10:27 pm
credible observer mission their presidential vote was counted faced and this is why i just want to articulate this point a lot of people are saying where are you getting the votes that was unknown by the ordinary people was each time we vote in the constituencies they first want to be counted through the twenty three constituent level up on the hill levin's which are the polling station best result is the prison guard action and it has to be represent your election for the day in our case for n.c. we managed to win in the majority of constituencies where our m.p.'s did not do well because of rigging of course our own they tried to rig but we did very well because there's been a sweeping and overwhelming call for change so that must be understood we also want to indicate that is has been noted by most of the observer missions the president of what is being counted face was supposed to be announced fist at constituents
10:28 pm
live we know the results we did the telling our m.p. is not the result i just know that is out there is no reason why zeki has been doing this or pick thing just yesterday they misled our chief election and this is why he had to do something that is uncharacteristic of him. i saw him taking over there just musician and announcing. but congratulation for setting our ground we really appreciate that because we want to defend our ports and we must do things that are consistent with a low we are lawful people we honor the law their constitution gandhi's us their right to peaceful protest if we are not happy drawing terms and purposes this will and this right is going to be pursued we are going to suffer or unconstitutional tendencies we don't want violence we don't accept violence any person who is violent is not part of us but we know that is that would be if would plant people who are then must quote i ding as m.d.c. alliance is a way to justify it create done. on the opposition is
10:29 pm
a dunce way to try and justify their running away from it as you've made election we want to deal with this and it shall be dealt with in a proper manner there's a way of concluding i must say that we have had five fundamental challenges the first one being the issue of unverified votes being announced to members of the press and to the country it's very clear that the law already ques that all results of an election the very fight by the i didn't before that is i was i should out by sic you will know not listen. then i don't get not willing to cooperate not for not understanding that this election is about citizens this election is about the political step toward us as the political parties and that issue has to be taken to support your conclusion there's a chap in cannot and was not supposed to announce what she wants or what she has
10:30 pm
been whispered in the ear by certain of the third force members what we know and we nor that they have been working with your woman and others to try and salvage this election we have that evidence as and when it is required all collected results indicate that we won significant we actually have a majority vote of over two point three million i had were from the government it is actually who did not reach the two million mark as we were then shot up ascended was actually fifty six percent by the evidence they have their tally was almost forty four thousand and forty four percent and we are very clear that if they're challenging on the veracity of our report let's go to the telling let's go to the eleven forms because this is a result we are not going to questions level and you can see that when they are nouns it night they are giving you night result when they are now saying at night they want to give you a ducking is the result not that is all that you voted for and this is what we are
10:31 pm
telling zimbabweans the second one is that poor are poorly done rigging someone got no as it is so if you stick at it. you know there is a fraud but this fraud is that is sort source of to distribute you know. the numbers that they even presented do not even add up you know i suppose they bought it from my brother and i got those that didn't last week was to forty. i did told you right it is a good example of where the numbers that were given to resign if you have candidates present you're going to miss them got one where more than what is on the twenty three forms as they indicate is common cause it can be proved more than twenty thousand votes that were added to zanu p.f. i doubt it were not for me someone got in my nickel and in the midlands with heads to see more horse than that is that what and their problem is that we had
10:32 pm
a much smaller number of what a spare polling station which was supposed to be a thousand and you know that when you plan around with these things you end up massaging into amending the result beyond the limits of what is known and what is common and this is what they did for ten hour discrepancies are common cause it is senseless that you would say that the turnout it but i mean there was seventy five percent ziggy's nobody putting an end to five percent turnout for the presidential fare in five why it might be that people did not vote for the permit but then you must reveal that in the parliamentary election what happened to the discrepancy of those ten percent was where this point what then happened to those ports so that is consistent or did they return that we've got forty so that we don't appreciate in terms of the election yes what is the way forward we are not accepting sec results we are not accepting this fiction we want properties out to be announced we will pursue all
10:33 pm
means necessary legal and constitutional to make sure that we protect the peoples what their people have what heads they have cheated their people of one they are subverting that we do not allow it and will not accept mr non-god was it may you all remember your liberation vo and commitment to the liberation. of one man one vote and respect the people do not use it power do not sit on the throne of power without those who empower the citizens they do not believe in you they believe in us you can see even by their what done even basic itself the nation is divided with all their been sent us we have all the consul's but we have on even going further with med significant.
