David Coltart, a senior official in the opposition Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) has said the ruling ZANU PF miscalculated in calling for by-elections scheduled for 26 March.
He said the ruling party thought it had destroyed the opposition. Said the former Education minister:
ZANU PF has seriously miscalculated in calling by elections. They thought that they had eliminated the real opposition & could manipulate the result. The combination of the @CCCZimbabwe ‘s remarkable surge & @PacheduZW ‘s expose of @ZECzim ‘s fraud has ruined their nefarious plans.
The by-elections slated for 26 March are meant to fill vacant council and Parliamentary seats, most of which, came vacant after opposition MDC-T led by Senator Douglas Mwonzora recalled members of councillors and legislators who were pro-Nelson Chamisa.
Mwonzora also claimed ownership of the MDC name and all its variables, including the MDC Alliance which the Nelson Chamisa-led party was using.
The Chamisa-led outfit argued that Mwonzora was being used by ZANU pf to destroy the opposition in the country. They then formed the CCC which has been growing at a rate that has shocked some analysts.
The party has so far hosted a couple of rallies that were highly attended and some analysts say the huge attendances have shaken the ruling ZANU PF.
Meanwhile, Team Pachedu, a civil society group, picked some anomalies in the voters’ roll which it says were deliberate efforts by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to rig the upcoming elections.
ZEC has been denying the allegations but “rectified them secretly,” according to Team Pachedu.
Did you learn anything all these years you have been in politics? Are these March elections significant to Zanu Pf? Are you not seeing the bait here?
The ‘bait’ is set to work for CCC more than for Zanu, How? The spectacular surge of the CCC will encourage millions of otherwise apathetic voters to cast their votes, not only in the March 2022 by-elections, but with the renewed hope for change, even in the 2023 general elections!!!
Any body witness the off-loading of 40 TONS worth of RTGS/Bond cash at RGM Airport from a freighter aircraft over the last few days? Yes 40 TONS Of money.!!!!
