MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa yesterday said he
welcomed an endorsement of his presidential bid by former President Robert
Mugabe who was booted out of power by the military in November last year.
Addressing thousands of supporters at Chipadze Stadium in
Bindura yesterday, Chamisa said Mugabe preferred him out of the entire 23
presidential candidate in Monday’s polls.
“The former President said former minister of Information
Communication Technology, referring to me, is a better candidate to run the
country,” he said.
“But surprisingly these guys (Zanu PF) were giving me their
old man after seeing that he failed the country. But I am not selecting any
votes. Anyone who passes the ball, I will score.”
Chamisa mocked President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy,
Constantino Chiwenga for attending apostolic church events in garments seeking
votes labelling them as “sheep in wolves clothing”.
He reiterated his claims that the Zimbabwe Electoral
Commission (Zec) was working in cahoots with Mnangagwa and Zanu PF. “I got a report today that Zec is working with Mnangagwa to
try and subvert your will,” Chamisa said.
He alleged Zec has not been professional, accountable and
transparent.
“It has been a referee that is throwing a whistle to join
another team, the team of Mnangagwa,” Chamisa said. Chamisa said he had spies within Mnangagwa’s inner circle
who were feeding him with information that the Zanu PF leader wanted to split
MDC-T on tribal grounds and frustrate him to boycott
elections. “These days I have spies in Mnangagwa’s camp who supply
information to me first before giving it to him,” he said.
“I hear they wanted to split our party on tribal grounds
using Thokozani Khupe, but (Morgan) Tsvangirai left us a legacy and said we
should use the name MDC Alliance not MDC-T.”
Chamisa said Zimdancehall singer Winky D endorsed him
saying Gafa muParliament meaning victory was eminent. Newsday
