Being the month in which the 2008 Harmonised Elections took place, March saw a rise in political
tensions and an increase in inter-party violence. Although the pre-election environment recorded
lower levels of incidences of politically motivated violence as compared to the election periods of 2000
and 2002, pre-election violence remains a worrying trend in Zimbabwean politics. Pre-election
violence has been used in the past Zimbabwean elections as an instrument of influencing election
outcomes and this, among other administrative irregularities, has marred the electoral process in
Zimbabwe. |
