Politician Buys Panties for Lady Voters
An unnamed Zimbabwean politician has been trying to win women's votes by handing out free lingerie, state television reported on Tuesday. Handing out gifts is not uncommon in election campaigns in Zimbabwe, but this time the publicity incurred the wrath of his ruling Zanu-PF party. "Supporters have been angered by the antics of an aspiring parliamentary candidate (who) has been accused of using unorthodox means to garner support - including the buying of undergarments for women," Zimbabwe Television said. The main opposition party has threatened to boycott the elections, demanding that sweeping electoral reforms be implemented first.Posted by: tipper 2004-11-30 |
