Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa today said Zimbabwe's presidential election was set to be fraudulent and accused electoral authorities of bias, but said his MDC party would not boycott the vote.

The vote on July 30 is "on path to be determined as a fraud election," he said, adding that the Zimbabwe Election Commission was "biased and has lost the confidence of the people of Zimbabwe."
"Mnangagwa knows defeat is staring in his face... We are going to turn out in our numbers (to vote) and defeat them."
