President Mnangagwa will garner more than the projected 5 million presidential votes in 2023 elections as more people keep coming back to join Zanu PF, according to Zanu PF national political commissar Victor Matemadanda.
“The writing has been put on the wall and it is very clear
for everyone that we are going to surpass our target of 5 million presidential
votes.
“Our message to those in opposition is that come home and
home is Zanu PF. Many people are now realizing that they can no longer stay on
the outside and are flocking home,” said Matemadanda
Matemadanda spoke after Blessing Chebundo, who got famous
for trouncing President Emmerson Mnangagwa in the Kwekwe parliamentary election
back in 2000, and former MDC Alliance senator Lilian Timveous defected to Zanu
PF.
The defection has sent shockwaves in the rank and file of
the MDC Alliance with Zanu PF savoring the moment saying the duo has seen the
light and others should follow suit.
“Those were not defections. I call that people coming back
home from the diaspora. Zanu PF is the home. If someone goes to diaspora and
then decides to return home, you do not ask where they were but you take
comfort in the fact that they are alive and well.
“We are very excited as a party that people of the caliber
of Cde Timveous (Lilian) and Cde Chebundo (Blessing) have come back home.
“For your own information, before the formation of the MDC,
Cde Chebundo was a Zanu PF district chairperson in Kwekwe and so it just like
home coming so we are very happy,” said Matemadanda.
He said the move by Timveous and Chebundo will pave way for
others who were still in the political wilderness to come join Zanu PF.
“This is going to show some people that are still in the
wilderness that home is home and home is best,” said Matemadanda. TellZimNews
