Hon Chairperson, given the reports of serious irregularities, including vote rigging and interference with the voter's roll, why did our government rush to declare the elections successful and congratulate President Robert Mugabe on his election on 3 August, just three days after the poll? Can the Deputy Minister explain how it is that, at the SADC meeting in Lilongwe this weekend, we supported the position that recognised the election results when the final SADC report hasn't even been made public?
