The Zimbabwean presidential election of 2018 was stolen to consolidate the political gains of the military coup of 2017 that ended the rule of Robert Mugabe.
This new book, Excelgate: How Zimbabwe’s 2018 Presidential Election Was Stolen, reveals how the election was stolen and the nature of the system that conducted the spectacular theft.
Popular opposition presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa, in veracity, actually scored a staggering 66 percent of the vote while the incumbent beneficiary of the coup, Emmerson Mnangagwa, trailed far behind with 33 percent.
In his new book written from exile, Professor Jonathan Moyo fleshes out the anatomy of electoral fraud and force that were deployed by the Joint Operations Command.
At the pinnacle of the spectacular election rigging process, he writes that the Zimbabwe Election Commission turned the National Command Centre in Harare into a clandestine “giant polling station”.
A combination of soldiers and Central Intelligence Organisation details went on “punching in what was identified as V11 data into an excel spreadsheet for close to two days”.
In essence, this book is the confession of a former government minister revealing how Zimbabweans were robbed of their clear political choice.
