OPPOSITION Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa exuded confidence as he promised to win tomorrow’s harmonised elections telling thousands of his supporters yesterday that he has already begun selecting his Cabinet.
Addressing thousands of supporters at the Freedom Square
during the party’s final rally, dubbed Game Over, Chamisa urged his supporters
to remain at polling stations within the permitted 300-metre radius to guard
against electoral theft.
“God has remembered Zimbabwe,” Chamisa said.
“Congratulations Zimbabwe. God’s plan will never fail. I have already started
formulating my Cabinet.”
He added: “There is no way we will not [win]. Some people
think there is going to be a repeat of 2018. Not this time. We are not
donor-funded. We are funded by the citizens. We will not accept failure by Zec
[Zimbabwe Electoral Commission] to fix V11s on polling stations. We will start
celebrations on Thursday. Tomorrow
[Tuesday] we are tying up loose ends. We have managed to provide polling agents
to all the 12 374 polling stations.”
Addressing thousands of supporters at the Freedom Square
during the party’s final rally, dubbed Game Over, Chamisa urged his supporters
to remain at polling stations within the permitted 300-metre radius to guard
against electoral theft.
Chamisa said he had briefed all the observers’ missions
about Zanu PF's dirty tactics in connivance with Zec to rig the election.
“Let’s guard against theft. Let’s stay at the polling
stations, 300 metres away and guard against theft of our vote. There is no
rigging that they can do that we are not aware of.
“We have infiltrated in their shenanigans. We have infiltrated the Central Intelligence
Organisation, the army, the police, everywhere,” Chamisa said.
He said President Emmerson Mnangagwa was “scared” of the
elections, accusing him of gerrymandering boundaries and imposing double
candidates on the CCC.
“I have met observers this morning (yesterday) and have
briefed them about all these issues,” Chamisa said. “I have also written to Zec
this morning [yesterday] demanding the copy of the voters roll that is going to
be used in the elections.”
Chamisa said if he wins, he would not take revenge on
Mnangagwa.
“To my brother Mr Mnangagwa, I will not strip you of your
title as the former president. We are not going to be retributive. We will let
bygones be bygones. Where you can help, you can.
“We need to unite and share ideas for the progress of our
nation. Those who support Zanu PF, it’s not about political affiliation. Go and
vote for your future. Go and vote for jobs for a better economy.”
Mnangagwa and Chamisa will face off against each other
after a close battle in 2018 where the opposition leader, then representing the
MDC Alliance, challenged the results in the Constitutional Court.
Chamisa has refused to acknowledge Mnangagwa as Zimbabwe’s
legitimate leader.
There are eight other presidential candidates in the
presidential race.
Mnangagwa and Chamisa have traversed the length and breadth
of Zimbabwe pleading for votes while attracting huge crowds at their rallies.
However, Mnangagwa’s Zanu PF have been accused of bussing
people to rallies while enticing them with food, drinks and seed as the party
flaunted its riches.
Chamisa has, however, attracted Zimbabweans with many
observers saying that they attended the rallies of their own volition. Newsday
