One is five for ED: Zivhu

- Walter Mswazie recently in Chivi

CHIVI Rural District Council chair Dr Killer Zivhu has launched an election campaign strategy dubbed “One is Five for ED Mnangagwa” to lure support for Zanu-PF and President Emmerson Mnangagwa ahead of the forthcomin­g elections.

Speaking during a farewell party for Alderman Tafirei Mhosva in Chivi last week, Dr Zivhu said the ruling party will resounding­ly win the elections given the overwhelmi­ng support from the electorate.

The politician-cum-businessma­n, who is Zanu-PF’s candidate for Chivi South House of Assembly, said the One is Five campaign strategy entails that each Zanu-PF member recruits five new supporters.

“The One is Five for ED Mnangagwa” is a new way of luring supporters to Zanu-PF. With this strategy, I am confident that President Mnangagwa will win the elections; I will also win in Chivi South because my record speaks for itself,” said Dr Zivhu.

He said the “One is Five for ED Mnangagwa” is a Chivi South initiative, which he believes could help the ruling party to garner more support if adopted countrywid­e.

“The idea is that one person gets five new supporters who will rally behind Zanu-PF ahead of the elections. We can easily have over 80 percent of the vote if we mobilise our support base,” said Dr Zivhu.

“All Zanu-PF candidates in Chivi, including councillor­s, should use this strategy to win their seats. The President must also win with a big margin; let’s mobilise support for him.”

Dr Zivhu said he tested the feasibilit­y of the One is Five campaign strategy during the Zanu-PF primary elections.

“Even our councillor­s should win all the local government seats in Chivi. It’s our time,” he said.

“Let’s not let down one of our own, President Mnangagwa. Let’s go out and make him proud of Chivi.”
