President Emmerson Mnangagwa has accused the Nelson Chamisa led MDC Alliance of squandering the opportunity for free and fair elections which he has offered. Mnangagwa also said that Chamisa represented unreal change, as he has promised things which cannot be achieved. In an opinion piece for the Washington Times, Mnangagwa says:
…still, they present no cogent plans for addressing citizens’ concerns. Instead, they organize rallies outside the Zimbabwe Election Commission premises declaring “No Reforms, No Elections.”
Zimbabweans deserve the forthcoming free and fair election — even if the opposition appears intent on squandering that opportunity for themselves. My offer is real change that is delivered — because it can be — in the next five years.
The alternative is unreal change — change that is not delivered, because it cannot be — not in the next five years or beyond. This does not lead to a new Zimbabwe. It leads to a Zimbabwe that is not new. For when there is no change, nothing changes at all.

True Mnangagwa is not Mugabe;when he was in the Mugabe gvt,it used to be called one centre of power;Mugabe would declare what he wanted,using little input if not none fr all the subordinates,and all including Mnangagwa would have no choice but to follow the boss in the name of unity of the party.Now the people only want to test the depth of his so called new dispensation at least for one term when he is now at the driving seat.Indeed Chamisa waffled nonsense at his rallies taking his crowds for fools-bullet trains etc
