"We Scored Big In 2022" - Nelson Chamisa

Nelson Chamisa who leads the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says the party “scored big” in 2022.

In a Twitter post on Friday, Chamisa also thanked stakeholders who supported the party which was launched on January 24 this year. He said:

We express our deepest gratitude to you all who have supported us materially and morally in this struggle for a New Great Zimbabwe. Thank you for your incredible and unrivalled kindness to us, and that unparalleled generosity to Zimbabwe. We scored big in 2022.

The party won won 19 parliamentary seats out of 28 during the 26 March by-elections, a result viewed as a magnificent achievement by CCC Bulawayo provincial deputy spokesperson Felix Mafa Sibanda. He added:

We participated in by-elections, where there was violence perpetrated by Zanu PF. Fortunately, we scored very well, above 60%. Zanu PF intimidated our people, killed our supporters, Mboneni Ncube in Kwekwe and Moreblessing Ali in Nyatsime, and arrested our people including, Zengeza West MP honourables Job Sikhala and Godfrey Sithole (Chitungwiza North).

Our road to democracy has been so painful in 2022. However, we made successes, and we also thrived in rural areas and grabbed Zanu PF’s strongholds.

Zanu PF is against a democratic dispensation. It has caused a lot of political violence. There is selective application of the law, the Judiciary and police are biased. There are some magistrates who are intimidated by Zanu PF. The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) is not even transparent, and it is failing to consult relevant stakeholders. We were also banned from having rallies. There is no freedom of association. If this continues in 2023, then the elections will be disputable.

Sibanda added that the party has established solid strategies to win the 2023 elections. 

ZANU PF information director Tafadzwa Mugwadi said the opposition party was looking for excuses for its “impending” defeat in 2023. Mugwadi told NewsDay:

We have always said these CCC shameless charlatans have nothing to offer the electorate besides provoking violence. The world saw videos of CCC activists burning houses in Nyatsime, and when they are arrested, they cry foul. Our President Emmerson Mnangagwa is very clear that violence won’t be tolerated.

Political analyst Romeo Chasara said CCC should be worried by the continuous arrests of its members and constant ban of rallies as the nation gears for 2023 elections.
