This statement is a follow-up which highlights issues in the post-election phase that deserve urgent attention. EISA will produce a more comprehensive and final report on the entire election process in due course. Since the poll and counting took place on 29 March 2008, EISA has noted with deep concern a number of developments that, in the overall, can seriously undermine the credibility of the already contested electoral process. These developments also have the potential to throw the country into a grave political crisis and ultimately exacerbate the suffering of the people of Zimbabwe.
