HON. TOGAREPI:  The mover of the motion is deliberately misrepresenting.  He is saying the MDC candidate got two million and ZANU PF got one million.  I think that is a misrepresentation which should not be allowed – [HON. MEMBERS:  Inaudible interjections.] –

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER:  Hon. Mutseyami, I think on that one you must withdraw and put the record straight – [HON. MEMBERS:  Inaudible interjections.] –

HON. MUTSEYAMI:  Madam Speaker, I have said it very clearly, the MDC party candidate got more than two million votes and the ZANU PF candidate got more than one million.  I have not said anything – [HON. MEMBERS:  Inaudible interjections.] –

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER:  Hon. Mutseyami, you must withdraw that.  That is not true, you must withdraw that.  Put the record straight Hon. Mutseyami

HON. O. MGUNI:  On a point of order, Madam Speaker.  I think the mover of the motion must respect and oblige to what the Speaker ruled.  I thank you Madam Speaker.

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER:  Hon. Mutseyami, I told you to withdraw that statement.

HON. MUTSEYAMI:  The results are very clear Madam Speaker.  I will have to – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –  Let me re-phrase it – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –  The ZANU PF presidential candidate….

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER:  Order Hon. Mutseyami.  I told you to withdraw that statement and put the record straight – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –

HON. MUTSEYAMI:  Madam Speaker, you are disturbing my motion.  You are disturbing my motion – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –

THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER:  I told you to withdraw that statement and put the record straight – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –

HON. MUTSEYAMI:  Madam Speaker, it is very clear.  I said the ZANU PF presidential candidate had more than one million votes – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –  Yes. Two, four million – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –

HON. KWARAMBA:  On a point of order – [HON. MEMBERS: Inaudible interjections.] –

MDC Hon. Members sang a song – Chamisa mai mwana.
