The Carter Center has appealed to Zimbabwean authorities to grant its observers accreditation this Tuesday, 22 August, saying continued delay will “hinder its ability” to successfully conduct its duties. It said: > The Center requests that accreditation for these observers be given today, August 22, so it can fulfill its mission to provide an impartial assessment of the election. > Any further delay in accreditation will prevent the Center from deploying these observers and will hinder its ability to observe polling, counting, and tabulation in many locations. On Monday, Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage, Kazembe Kazembe, alleged that some international players are working with local players to deploy people in Zimbabwe disguised as election observers or researchers in order to engage in activities that threaten peace in the country.
