President Robert Mugabe is reportedly planning to call for early elections next year in order to catch the opposition flat-footed. According to daily publication, Daily News, the President and Zanu PF, believe that by going for elections as early as February or March, the opposition would be at a huge disadvantage as they are still negotiating terms for different coalitions, while Zanu PF is already in election mode.
Zanu PF Secretary for Administration, Ignatius Chombo is quoted as saying:
This is July and the President is not forced by anyone to declare elections in June (2018). He can choose any date next year,
Let’s be ready, expecting that the elections may come in February or March, which means we must be ready. We don’t want to be under pressure and be caught unaware
