By Own Correspondent| The leader of Zimbabwe’s latest political party, the woman who announced her new political party during the week, told reporters there is nothing like vote rigging in Zimbabwe.

Ms Carol Nyereyegona, who says her party is called the Chief’s Party, opened her presser by thanking President Emmerson Mnangagwa “for overseeing an environment where all parties can campaign, we’ve been able to campaign peacefully,” she read out her statement.

She was asked to reveal her membership and at least the number of followers she commands, and she replied refusing to reveal her own party members; failed to reveal even just one.

She was asked on her views about vote-rigging and her reply was, she does not see any vote rigging,  real or perceived in the preparations for the upcoming elections.

She was at first asked to reveal her membership numbers and she said, “well we have(sic), we count our membership on areas, for example we have met most of the chiefs, and we have met many herdmen, many villagers, so we have gone as far rural as we can,” she said.

When asked to disclose some of the chiefs in her party, she replied saying, “at this time, errrm, I would rather they mention it if they wish. There are, I don’t know, maybe six months ago I happened to speak with some of the herd chiefs and they were very pleasant to me, very nice. This is why I mentioned earlier that chiefs should not be criticised because they really are criticised by everybody for no real reason, because all they want to do is maintain their areas. They have to contend with district councils as well, there is a lot that they have to contend with and if we happen to succeed, we will have provincial governments, we will make sure that those municipalities, governments are reliable, we would have chiefs as senators, ladies and men chiefs, so we really want to include them as many as them as we have as, as much as possible.”

When asked on what is new about her political party which 127 others are failing to provide the people, she mumbled and fumbled a little, and then said she would be a practical leader and she talked about improving hospitals among other things.

She was asked on her views on what challenges female politicians are facing in Zimbabwe and she emphatically replied saying, “none!”

So who is Carol ? She was asked on her profession and she replied saying she’s a veterary doctor. “I am a vetenary doctors, been a doctor for 30 years, errm, I’m also a businesswoman, been a businesswoman for about 20 years and I just got the calling to for this party. I am very happy that we have a chief’s party, and very happy that we are running in elections.

When asked on what challenges she sees women having in politics, she said there are none.

She replied saying, “none.”

She concluded by saying that she sees no problem with media access by opposition parties. See video below:
