AIR Traffic Controllers Association of Zimbabwe has congratulated President Mugabe and Zanu-PF for their thumping victory in the country’s harmonised elections held last July. In a statement yesterday, ATCAZ president Mr Evans Makuku said the organisation took pride in being associated with Zanu-PF.
“The executive board and members of the Air Traffic Controllers Association of Zimbabwe congratulate His Excellency Comrade RG Mugabe and revolutionary party Zanu-PF for the landslide victory in the 2013 harmonised elections,” he said.
“We will forever cherish the great work the party has done for the country from the days of the liberation struggle.”
President Mugabe and Zanu-PF romped to a resounding victory, getting 160 National Assembly seats to MDC-T’s 49, with one seat going to an independent candidate. The President garnered 61,09 percent of the votes to MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s 33,94 percent.
Three other contestants Professor Welshman Ncube (MDC), Dr Dumiso Dabengwa (Zapu) and Kisinoti Mukwazhe (ZDP) shared the remaining 4,97 percent Zanu-PF now dominates the National Assembly with 197 seats, to MDC-T’s 70 and MDC’s two. In Senate, Zanu-PF dominates with 37 seats to MDC-T’s 21, while the MDC has two seats.
The elections have been endorsed by the AU, Sadc, Comesa, the United Nations and other progressive countries.
Only the United States, Britain and Australia have cast aspersions on the poll results, parroting MDC-T claims of vote-rigging without evidence.
