Opposition wars delaying change
IT is clear at this moment in time Zanu PF has an added advantage over its political competitors. The ruling party is always in campaign mode, while opposition leaders are at each other’s throat, denigrating one another.
As it stands, Zanu PF is focusing on mobilising the rural electorate. Most constituencies are divided and there are more constituencies in rural areas than in urban areas.
Zanu PF is in the process of delimiting constituencies, while MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora is busy fighting his former deputy Thokozani Khupe.
On the other hand, Mwonzora is trying to outdo Citizens Coalition for Change leader Nelson Chamisa on the political podium.
Mwonzora's toxic politics must be discarded. It is retrogressive.
Every incumbent president has State resources at his disposal. He has State machinery at his disposal, while the opposition has to make-do with whatever little is available.
For you to win elections, you need resources. You don’t just wake up at State House, you have to mobilise resources and seek strategic information and create a good intelligence network.
Instead of mobilising people, especially youths, to register to vote, opposition members are fighting for the name MDC.
There is no doubt that people are fed up with Zanu PF, hence the opposition has a better chance this time around but my simple questions are: Are all those people who come for your rallies registered voters? Did they vote? Are the numbers increasing or declining? Did you carry out any research?
You should not be fooled by people who attend rallies because the majority of them also attend Zanu PF rallies. I am not denying the fact that the opposition controls urban areas while Zanu PF controls the rural base.
