Makumbi said:<\/p>\n<p>Zanu PF has activated its election rigging machinery by sending youths to display campaign banners bearing Fombo\u2019s portrait close to the polling station. This happened right in front of me, prompting me to report the matter to ZEC and to police.<\/p>\n<p>The Electoral Act prohibits displaying material bearing political messaging or wearing party regalia, including T-shirts and caps, within a 100-metre radius from a voting site.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Fombo has courted controversy. Last week, he commandeered a council grader operator to refurbish roads and took a ride on the earthmoving equipment as it drove around the ward.<\/p>\n<p>More: NewZimbabwe.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
