An electoral candidate's bulletin of events and happenings pertaining to Ward 7, Harare where he is running for office as a councillor.
Hello
Election day. Woke up to
reports on the BBC of long queues. Got dressed, walked down to
Avondale School. The queue there about 100 people long at most.
And three polling stations around the school. I voted (for
myself!) and got a funny red/maroon ink colour on my left little
finger. Four ballot papers, four ballot boxes, all as
predicted.
Down to the 'Command Centre' at Mount Pleasant
School and got a tag that says I am a Council Candidate. Then to
all the stations, from 0930 to 1200. All six in order, and almost
all have more than one polling station at each! Never a queues more
than 50 people long. The queue at the ATM in Newlands is longer.
There was no queue at Alex Park School. All seems to be going very
well. Again, as predicted. They are all ready to count at the
polling stations too; the tent in Strathaven was just waiting for
diesel for its generator so they can have lights by tonight.
A
wee rest, and then back out there.
Zvakanaka
