Officials in Zimbabwe announced today that more than 100 cases of electoral fraud are being investigated at the moment. The highly disputed general elections are expected to bring many more such news.

So far the Zimbabwe Republic Police has recorded 100 cases of electoral fraud with many more being discovered by the day," announced police commissioner-general Augustine Chihuri, quoted by Agence France Presse.

Actions to clear the area from wrongdoers have already been started as several members from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) have been accused and arrested for receiving bribe to favor the vote count for the opposition. Others were arrested for voting more than once.

The police commissioner expressed his strong belief that every possible effort would be made in order to find and prosecute all those involved. At the same time those efforts will be focused on keeping the post-election violence at a minimum. 

As the news present it, the political crisis in Zimbabwe is still far from ending. For the past four weeks, ever since the voting ended, the authorities have claimed that a certain amount of time is still needed in order to correctly recount the votes and only then will they make their official statement revealing the results.

The MDC is absolutely certain that its leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, has defeated President Robert Mugabe, winning the presidential election outright without any need for a second round of voting. They also claim that at least 15 of the party’s enthusiasts were killed and many more injured and displaced in an attempt to weaken their conviction.
