Opposition Leader Says He Won't Contest 2023 Presidential Election

The leader of the opposition party, Patriotic Zimbabwe, Hosiah Chipanga, says he is no longer interested in contesting the 2023 presidential election after he met President Emmerson Mnangagwa face to face.

Chipanga, who is also a musician, said he launched his political to trick the President into meeting him. He said:

I will no longer contest elections in 2023. I will vote for President Mnangagwa. My party was a trick to make me meet the President of my country.

For the past 40 years, I have tried by all means known to me to meet the President of my country, the late and the current one to no avail.

I was very elated to meet with President Mnangagwa at Beaulieu Primary School in Mutasa South constituency.

It was an emotional moment for me since I was yearning to see him for some time now.

I will not contest as a leader of an opposition party in the 2023 harmonised elections.

I entered into politics as a way of getting a platform to meet with the First Citizen.

How can I stand as an opposition leader when my wishes are fulfilled?

The Mutare-based musician claims he has a special message for Mnangagwa on how to govern the country to be delivered from current problems. He said he is yet to deliver the “divine revelation”. | The Herald
