MDC Alliance presidential candidate, Nelson Chamisa
yesterday claimed that the opposition group had unearthed Zanu PF’s election
rigging machinery and were now confident of an outright victory in the upcoming
general elections.
Chamisa told supporters at Ruwangwe business centre in
Nyanga North that there would be no room for a re-run, as he would score no
less than 70% of the votes in the first round of the polls.
“If we don’t get 70% of the vote, then they would have
rigged the election. We have done our homework, we’ve done in it in Harare,
Bulawayo, Manicaland, Matabeleland,” he said without elaborating.
“We are here because we are aware that this is where most
of our voters are and we need to change your lives and we are in a season of
change. I know there are soldiers, who have been sent to rural areas and they
are not in uniform, but disguised as civilians to monitor your activities ahead
of the polls.”
Chamisa pledged to roll out a raft of policies as soon as
he gets into power, including reintroducing the Zimbabwe dollar and unveiling a
leaner Cabinet to ensure government efficiency.
Speaking at the same rally, People’s Democratic Party
leader and former Finance minister Tendai Biti pledged to increase the
country’s foreign direct investments and massive job creation programmes.
