Ncube wants electoral reforms which include provisions to ensure that the President does not refuse to step down when defeated

Welshman Ncube wants electoral reforms to include legal provisions which prevent a president from refusing to step down.  He also admitted that opposition had no plan in 2008. They entered the GNU in good faith, while Zanu PF did so as a ploy to buy time.

Speaking to New Zimbabwe, Ncube said:

When you become a president, you become ‘looter-in-chief’. If you lose power, you realise there is no other life out there. That’s why they would rather drag the country down with them

We need to put in place legal instruments to prevent President Mugabe declaring that he has not lost (elections) when in fact it’s plain for everybody to see.

…(In 2008) We ended up, with hindsight, the tragedy of the inclusive government which we entered in good faith but others entered in bad faith only to buy time.
