Following a good show against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ruling Zanu PF in the by-elections, versatile opposition leader Nelson Chamisa and his Citizens’ Coalition for Change say there is no time to rest and have already started drumming up support for next year’s do or die elections.
While Chamisa and his party has of late been disturbed from holding rallies in some places, the party is urging its supporters to register to vote.
“Every Zimbabwean must register to vote so we can complete the change in 2023.
“We are also going to push for key electoral reforms ahead of these elections and we are going to demand that Zimbabweans in the diaspora are allowed to vote because everyone has a right to participate in the country’s electoral processes.
“The liberation war was fought so that we have one-man-one-vote, one-woman-one-vote; we want to make sure we have more than six million people voting for us next year,” said Chamisa.
His sentiments have been echoed by his party’s spokesperson, Fadzayi Mahere who says CCC has done well despite being so young and having started from the ground.
“came into the by-election with nothing. The party was born 2 months ago.
“We started from zero so no seat has been taken from us. We won our first 19 seats in Parliament & 75 seats in local authorities. We now have something & from here on we build,” she said.
