Zanu-PF Is At Its Weakest, It Has Split Into Five Formations: Mwonzora

MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora has said that despite the problems in the opposition it will prevail in the 2018 elections. He said that the ruling Zanu-PF was at its weakest because it has split into 5 formations since the last election. Speaking to The Standard, Mwonzora said,

The numbers that we have been drawing at our rallies are there for everybody to see. We are clearly the party with the biggest following in this country at present. Although the MDC has split, it is facing a Zanu PF that has split into five formations. It spilt into NPP, ZimPF, UPP, NPF, Zimbabwe Peoples First, and Zapu. The most fragmented Zanu PF in history is what we are facing today. We are also facing a Zanu PF without a charismatic leader. He (President Emmerson Mnangagwa) does not have oratory skills. He does not seem to have the political mastery that [former president Robert] Mugabe did have. So we know that one-on-one, we are facing a very weak opponent.

…the difference between this election and the previous elections is the presence of the international community, Commonwealth, European Union, African Union and the Kofi Annan Foundation. All these were not welcome in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe.
