Who needs free and fair elections if you have strategies to win rigged elections. W Mukori

 Why has Zimbabwe all but failed to hold free, fair and credible elections? 

The concept of free, fair and credible elections is founded on rule of law. In those societies in which the only rule that counts is dominate or be dominated free, fair and credible elections are of no value. Both Zanu PF and MDC/CCC have paid lip-service to free and fair elections. 

Rigging elections comes naturally to both Zanu PF and MDC/CCC hence the reason why there is no democratic practises within the party. Charity begins at home, indeed the cheating and violence see in Zanu PF's primary elections, for example, have been amplified at national level. 

Ever since the 2008 to 2013 GNU, Zanu PF has learned that the party can still r g elections and get away with it as long as the party allows a few opposition leaders win some gravy train seats. The opposition have participated in flawed elections out of greed but why have the   opposition supporters themselves participated in the flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy and perpetuate their own suffering?

Opposition leaders like Chamisa have conned their supporters to participate in flawed elections again and again on the belief the party has devised strategies of winning rigged elections. Who needs free, fair and credible elections if you can win RIGGED elections!
