Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko told his Zimbabwean counterpart, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, to work extremely hard to win this year’s elections.
He made the remarks during the signing ceremony of eight bilateral agreements between Belarus and Zimbabwe at State House in Harare on Tuesday. He said:
<blockquote>
My dear President, this year you’re going to face a huge challenge, presidential, parliamentary elections and local elections. This will be a huge challenge for your nation, and I hope that you will be able to pass through this. Please don’t trust liars, there are no miracles. Good results and success can only be achieved through hard work.
So, I am hopeful that this year you will make the right choice. By making the right choice make sure that you will be able to show the entire world that you deserve the independence that you won, and you’re going to preserve it further. The people of Zimbabwe deserve it, please be very mindful and careful. With all this hard work you will be able to achieve what you want to achieve.
</blockquote>
In response to Lukansheko, Mnangagwa said his ZANU PF party was poised to win again this year. He said:
<blockquote>
Let me assure you that since independence, Zimbabwe has never omitted to hold general elections when they fall due. Every five years we held elections since 1980 and the ruling party Zanu PF has been winning all these elections. We shall continue winning. It’s true that we are a democracy. Last elections we had over 50 political parties which contested and I had 23 presidential contenders, and this is beautiful.
The more we have people who want to become President, the merrier it is. This time around I don’t know how many want to contest. The ground is open. In Zanu PF, we are extremely confident that we are going to win these elections.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa’s biggest rival, based on the results of the 2018 election, is Nelson Chamisa who leads the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).
Chamisa, a former minister of ICT during the Government of National Unity, rejected the outcome of the 2018 presidential election arguing that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) connived with ZZANU PF and overturned results in Mnangagwa’s favour. 
Alexander Lukashenko became the President of Belarus on July 20, 1994.
He won a controversial presidential election in Belarus in 2020 and was reelected as the President. The election was criticised for vote-rigging and human rights violations, causing protests and a government crackdown. The international community expressed concerns.

2023 Elections: Belarus President Lukashenko Tells Mnangagwa To Work Hard

Housing Amenities minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Daniel_Garwe">Daniel Garwe</a> yesterday said the government had budgeted to build less than 250 houses this year when the government had pledged to build 300 000 annually in the 2018 election campaigns.
 Garwe told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/2022/08/we-can-only-afford-232-houses-not-300-000/">NewsDay Weekender</a> that the government intends to reach 225 000 houses by the end of 2025. He is quoted as saying:
<blockquote>
Our target for houses directly built by the ministry in 2022 is 232 houses. These are the housing projects that will be directly implemented by the ministry and the breakdown is as follows Marondera 64, DZ 48, Binga 37, Senga 64, and Lupane 19.
However, the ministry’s role in housing delivery is facilitating the construction of houses and pushing for the densification model in line with the housing policy by all players including private players, individuals, the banking sector, etc. That is how the Ministry will reach its targeted 225 000 housing units by 2025.
</blockquote>
In the 2018 election manifesto, the ruling ZANU PF pledged to construct 1.5 million housing units by 2023, translating to 300 000 houses per year, or 25 000 a month, 6 250 a week or 822 houses a day.
If the plan was successful, over 1.2 million houses would have been constructed to date.
According to the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency statistics released on Wednesday, Zimbabwe is facing a housing crisis that has left nearly half of its urban population of almost 5.7 million people living in rented accommodations.
The national housing backlog stands at over two million.
In the 2019 Infrastructure Investment Plan drafted by the Finance and Economic Development ministry, the government announced that it would invest US$264 million in residential housing construction.
Sivio Institute, an independent research body last year said President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ZANU PF <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/07/15/mnangagwa-fulfilled-only-2-of-2018-pledges-sivio/">government had fulfilled only 2% of its 2018 election pledges.</a>
Statistics by the Sivio Institute on the performance of government in 2021 showed that out of the 237 pledges made in various sectors of governance, only five had been fulfilled.

Govt Says It Can Build 232 Houses Annually Not 300 000 Stated In 2018

Long-time opposition leader Egypt Dzinemunenzva has indicated that he is planning to contest for President in 2023, after failing to do so in 2018.
Dzinemunenzva, who leads the Forces of the Liberation Organisation of African National Party (FLOANP), ended up contesting for the Wedza North Parliamentary seat, which was won by David Musabayana (ZANU PF).
In an interview with OpenParly, Dzinemunenzva said he failed to run for the presidency in 2018 because some of his party members chickened out at the last minute. This saw him failing to get enough nominations.
He said work is underway to ensure that he contests for President and field as many candidates as possible in various constituencies. Said Dzinemunenzva:
<blockquote>
In 2023 I will contest for President. And we will field candidates in many constituencies so that we can win and get into government.
We have already started campaigning for the 2023 elections. In all the 10 provinces we have the targets that we have put in place.
We are fighting to get finances so that we can implement our plans on time so that in 2023 we can have adequate preparation.
</blockquote>
Dzinemunenzva also indicated that they are working to see how many seats they will contest for in Parliament and local authorities but will not reveal them for now as he fears that ZANU PF might steal his strategies.
The FLOANP leader said if his party wins the 2023 elections, they have already come up with about 14 issues that they will immediately address, including reforming the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP).

Egypt Dzinemunenzva Plans To Contest 2023 Presidential Election

In the run-up to the 2018 elections, President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his ruling ZANU PF party made a number of pledges that gave the nation hope that they were to witness real transformation in the Southern African country.
Mnangagwa’s pledge card stated that in the next five years (2018 -2023), he would:
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Put Job creation first: Leveraging the huge investment wave to create hundreds of thousands of jobs in agriculture, mining, tourism, the service sectors and new infrastructure project.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Anti-Corruption_Commission">Have Zero-tolerance to corruption:</a> Anyone found guilty of corruption will be immediately fired and punished accordingly – nobody is above the law!</li>
<li>Establish a modern, affordable healthcare system for all: Reducing hospital fees by 50%, improving the supply of critical drugs, guaranteeing free healthcare to all cancer patients and building 78 new hospitals ensuring one hospital per district.</li>
<li>Develop Infrastructure worthy of the new Zimbabwe: Increasing power generation capacity, constructing a new railway network system connecting all provinces, towns and neighbouring countries, and dualisation of all major roads.</li>
<li>Generate unprecedented educational and employment opportunities for our youth: Developing empowerment programmes such as Youth Business Hubs, fostering youth ownership and control of resources, establishing quotas for allocation of stands and houses, and mentorship and training programmes</li>
</ul>
KEEP THIS PLEDGE CARD AND MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP OUR PROMISES</blockquote>

Authorities claim that while they are still working towards achieving all the set targets, the government led by President Mnangagwa has <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/10/18/we-have-done-what-the-first-dispensation-did-not-achieve-mohadi/">already surpassed achievements made by the Robert Mugabe regime.</a>

Mnangagwa who has embarked on a number of projects including the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/08/07/pictures-ed-commissions-road-works-along-beitbridge-harare-highway/">dualisation of the Beitbridge-Harare-Chirundu Highway</a>, the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/05/28/global-trade-review-lists-beitbridge-project-among-top-deals-of-the-year/">mordenisation of the Beitbridge Border Post,</a> admits that “Zimbabwe is not without its challenges.”
He is still optimistic saying “myself and this government are fully committed to improving our great nation for the benefit of all Zimbabweans.”
Zimbabwe goes back to the polls in 2 years time and failure to or success in achieving the 2018 election promises will have far-reaching consequences to Mnangagwa.

List Of Pledges Mnangagwa Made In 2018

The Constitutional Court on Tuesday reserved judgment on an appeal by Gift Konjana, an MDC Alliance parliamentary candidate for Chegutu West in the 2018 elections.
Konjana won the Chegutu West seat but was denied victory by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) due to a ballot counting error.
Dexter Nduna (ZANU PF) was declared the winner in the contentious race, setting off a protracted court battle that would go through all relevant jurisdictions all the way to the top of the appeals process.
Soon after the results, Konjana demanded a recount which found that some of the votes cast for him had been allocated to Nduna.
While admitting its error, ZEC said it was powerless to reverse the outcome, which prompted Konjana to approach the Electoral Court.
However, in October 2018, Justice Mary Zimba-Dube dismissed his petition saying it was defective.
Konjana then took up the matter with the Supreme Court but was again turned down by Justices Bharat Patel and Chinembiri Bhunu.
Justice Patel admitted though that the appeal had merit, but said the case could not be heard because the appeal timeframe stipulated under the Electoral Act had elapsed.
Konjana then approached the Constitutional Court, arguing that the Supreme Court had violated his rights by not hearing him out.
The case was heard by Justices Garwe, Anne Mary Gowora, and Ben Hlatswayo.
Nduna, through his lawyers, countered in the Constitutional Court that Konjana’s electoral challenge had been legitimately rejected by the lower courts.
Justice Paddington Garwe led the Constitutional Court bench.

Constitutional Court Reserves Judgement On MDC's Gift Konjana Petition

A documentary about MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa based on the story of the country’s 2018 presidential election has won the Best Feature Documentary in Brazil’s Its True Film Festival.
The documentary titled ‘President’ was directed by Danish Camilla Nielsson. It provides a comprehensive look at how the 2018 elections were allegedly rigged by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government. Nielsson posted on Twitter:
<blockquote>Last night, our film President won an award for the best documentary at the Its True film in Brazil.
Obrigado Thank You we are happy and honoured.</blockquote>

WATCH: Award-winning Nelson Chamisa Film

Eric Kohn has taken the time to review the documentary film President produced by Camilla Nielsson that premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival in Arizona last week that looks into the 2018 harmonized elections.
Calling the election campaign of Nelson Chamisa”@the Obama Like Momentum”, Kohn said:
<blockquote>
<div>
<div>
<article>
<div>
…..Those events fill the frantic, infuriating two-plus hours of hectic campaigning in “President,” director Camilla Nielsson’s probing look at the passion and uncertainty of working to preserve an ideal when the ruling party can discard it at will. If these recent events are new to you, it’s an essential recap of dark times.
Aping the busy assemblage of lively meetings and speeches found in much of Frederick Wiseman’s work, Nielsson captures the complexity of a system constantly on the verge of collapse, but sustained by the persistent desire to keep it alive. The dense footage doesn’t always result in a fully engrossing narrative so much as provide a robust overview of events many of its audiences obviously didn’t follow in the first place. It’s less thrilling than exhaustive, a kind of informational activism in feature form. And as documentary service journalism, the movie delivers everything you need to know to recognize the troubling state of Zimbabwe’s current rulership and how close it came to setting things right.
That’s because Chamisa worked the crowds with Obama-like momentum, cycling through ebullient young voters eager for change, while spending tireless hours in boardrooms with his hardworking staff. Yet as he tinkers with every detail of his message, talking through tiny details of his message like music cues in online advertisements while listening to the nuanced arguments of his team, a profound threat overtakes his momentum: At the apparent behest of Mnangagwa, the Zimbabwe Electoral Committee evades pressure for transparency around the vote, and the alarm bells grow as Chamisa gains in the polls but has no guarantee he’ll win.
“President” becomes a much different movie in its third act, and a better one, once that election actually takes place and anyone who can read realizes that the numbers don’t add up. “This is a coup,” Chamisa tells his team plainly, as they hover in a hotel room, uncertain how to fight back. But as Nielsson’s camera watches their expressions, it’s clear that they’ll think of something to keep the battle going.
<div>
<div data-device="Desktop" data-width="300">
<div>
<div data-google-query-id="CJ_C8N3Zz-4CFZrc1QodnO0DpA" data-is-adhesion-ad="">
<div>Access is key to carrying “President” along, though it doesn’t offer much insight into Chamisa’s personality or drive, taking his heroism for granted as he works hard to get elected. That makes for a rather dry slog toward election day, but once that moment passes and the ruling party basically steals the outcome, his fighting spirit takes on a profound, bracing quality as tensions mount nationwide. The backlash culminates with a terrifying protest in which military intervention results in the loss of lives, and Nielsson captures the bloody action on the streets in unflinching detail. Shortly thereafter, her camera roams the harrowing scene at a Chamisa press conference that very nearly takes a violent turn when the police attempt to shut it down. Hovering on the brink of another tyrannical takeover, “President” will resonate for any viewers for whom the idea of corrupt elections is still raw. (Read: America, you dodged quite the bullet.)</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
It’s hard not to consider the sort of movie that might have arisen from foregrounding these events up top, as they set the stage for the complex judicial showdown that followed, and the movie’s best scenes. With human rights lawyer Thabani Mopofu taking charge, Chamisa’s party challenged the results in a tense courtroom showdown that gripped the nation. It’s here that “President” coalesces into an absorbing legal thriller that demonstrates the thorny processes involved in fighting for fair elections.
Difficult by design, the rules don’t slow down a very compelling case, even if it reaches a tragic finale. Chamisa speaks truth to power even when contending with defeat, which lends a rousing quality even in the bleaker passages of the finale, as well as proof that this story is far from over. Technically a sequel to Nielsson’s 2014 documentary “Democrats,” which explored the messy birth of Zimbabwe’s constitution, “President” could just as easily have used the same title. Democracy, after all, is always a work in progress  and “President” leaves the impression that Zimbabwe’s work has a long way to go. Part three can’t come soon enough.

The film was once banned in Zimbabwe before the court overturned the ban. Zimbabweans are yet to watch the documentary after its<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/president-movie-trailer/"> trailer went viral on social media last week</a>.

WATCH: The Movie Trailer Of President, A Documentary Of The 2018 Elections

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said his government has scored a number of notable achievement since his election in 2018 for his first five-year term.
President Mnangagwa used microblogging site Twitter to enumerate what he considers his achievements, which among other things, include the reintroduction of the Zimbabwe dollar, the completion of the Chiredzi-Tanganda Road and training 1.8 million farmers for the Pfumvudza programme. He wrote:
<blockquote>Two years ago today, I was inaugurated as your President. I vowed to serve Zimbabwe and its people so that we could move towards a more prosperous future. Here’s what we have achieved in this time.
<ul>
<li>The $4.2 billion USD Great Dyke Platinum Mine is already under construction.</li>
<li>Reintroduced the Zimbabwe Dollar, after 10 years of dollarization and relying on foreign currency.</li>
<li>The $4 billion USD Karo Resources Mhondoro-Ngezi platinum project is ahead of schedule.</li>
<li>Completed the Chiredzi-Tanganda Road, with the Makuti-Chirundu and Karoi-Binga roads currently under construction.</li>
<li>Implemented a new school curriculum, so that every student is accommodated for.</li>
<li>Compensation for former farm owners by 3.5 billion, ending years of disputes.</li>
<li>Ranked third in Africa on budget transparency by the Open Budget Survey.</li>
<li>1.8 million farmers trained for Pfumvudza.</li>
<li>Subsidized agricultural inputs for vulnerable households.</li>
<li>RGM Airport expansion is currently under construction</li>
<li>$18 billion ZWL stimulus package, to help regenerate our economy post-COVID19.</li>
<li>Dam projects in Causeway, Gwayi-Shangani and Marovanyati currently under construction.</li>
</ul>
Zimbabwe is not without its challenges. But rest assured that myself and this government are fully committed to improving our great nation for the benefit for all Zimbabweans. Thank you all and may God bless Zimbabwe.</blockquote>
However, critics would say that the economic and human security situations are now worse than they were under Mnangagwa’s predecessor Robert Mugabe.
Corruption has risen to alarming levels and opposition activists have been wantonly arrested, with the government branding all dissenting voices terrorists and bad apples.

President Mnangagwa Lists His 'Achievements' Over The Past Two Years

The leader of the opposition MDC Alliance, Nelson Chamisa has said that he is under immense pressure from the masses who want to take to the streets to register their displeasure in the deteriorating state of affairs.
Chamisa told News Day that he has been around the country where he learnt that the citizenry is not happy over socio-economic and political crises in the country. He said:
<blockquote>People want to be on the street as early as yesterday to protest against government. Considering that people are suffering and dying while crossing the flooded Limpopo to South Africa looking for opportunities that are deprived back home, the pressure is unbearable. People want to be in the street as early as yesterday to have the situation resolved.</blockquote>
He said that the situation was now ripe for action as it is no longer sustainable adding that change was high. Zimbabwe has once again plunged into an economic crisis that has been described by many as the worst in the past decade.
Analysts believe that a dialogue between President Mnangagwa and Chamisa could trigger growth but the leaders have set demands each side is reluctant to meet.
Meanwhile, Chamisa has hinted that he will no longer be pushing for dialogue as Mnangagwa has not been forthcoming.

"Tagwirei Provided Fuel For MDC's 2018 Elections Campaign. Ask Hwende" - Pro-ZANU PF Social Media Activist

Former deputy Minister of Justice and Legal Affairs, advocate Obert Gutu has suggested that there is already a winner in the 2023 elections.
He posted on the microblogging site, Twitter and said:
<blockquote>According to my humble prognosis, 2023 is already done and dusted. There’s NO contest, actually. Ask me later.</blockquote>
His remarks come when there is still a standoff between the ruling ZANU PF and the opposition MDC over the 2018 presidential election which the latter claims was stolen by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) in connivance with ZANU PF.
The MDC has since announced that it <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/02/15/no-2023-elections-until-the-2018-elections-dispute-is-resolved-mdc/">will boycott the 2023 elections if the 2018 election dispute has not been resolved.</a>
Gutu’s remarks are in resonance with sentiments of many political analysts who have said that the playing field is not level hence the need for political, legal, media, and electoral reforms for a fair contest.
They also blame the MDC for participating in the 2018 elections when no reforms had been implemented and when it was clear that the landscape favoured ZANU PF.

"2023 Is Already Done And Dusted. There's NO Contest, Actually," - Obert Gutu

The opposition MDC led by Nelson Chamisa has threatened to boycott the 2023 elections if the 2018 elections dispute has not been resolved.
The party claims that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission in connivance with the ruling ZANU PF manipulated the outcome of the 2018 presidential election in favour of ZANU PF candidate, President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The party challenged the outcome at the Constitutional Court and lost the case with the court saying that Chamisa had failed to present evidence to prove that the election had been rigged.
Recently, whilst launching the party’s Agenda 2020, Chamisa claimed that MDC had found new evidence to prove that the election was rigged and was planning to approach SADC.
Meanwhile, addressing hundreds of party supporters at Mucheke Hall in Masvingo on Friday where the party was celebrating two years since the death of founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai, Chamisa suggested his party may boycott the 2023 elections. He said:
<blockquote>Zanu PF should accept they rigged the 2018 harmonised elections. If they do accept that, we might not take part in the 2023 elections until the 2018 elections dispute is resolved. 
</blockquote>
Analysts have often said that the MDC should not have participated in the election since electoral reforms had not been effected.

"No 2023 Elections Until The 2018 Elections Dispute Is Resolved," - MDC

Former advisor to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa has claimed that the leader of the opposition MDC Alliance, Nelson Chamisa knows that president Emmerson Mnangagwa won the 2018 presidential elections but does not want to accept defeat.
Mutsvangwa said that Chamisa is afraid of the MDC Constitution which provides that a presidential candidate who loses an election has to resign.
Chamisa has since 2018 been refusing to acknowledge president Mnangagwa as the legitimate president of Zimbabwe arguing that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, in connivance with the ruling ZANU PF, manipulated election results in favour of Mnangagwa.
He filed an application at the Constitutional Court for a review of the election results and the court upheld the ZEC results saying that Chamisa had failed to present evidence to support his claim that elections had been rigged.
Recently, he announced that he had discovered new evidence which suggests that the elections had indeed been manipulated and said the MDC was planning to approach SADC over the matter.
Mutsvangwa, however, says Chamisa is just seeking attention. Watch the video below for more.

Mutsvangwa "Reveals" Why Chamisa Is "Afraid" To Admit That President Mnangagwa Won 2018 Presidential Elections

Leader of the opposition MDC, Nelson Chamisa has said that a genuine political dialogue in Zimbabwe should consist of the security sector in the country.
He made the remarks while addressing party supporters at Stodart Hall in Mbare where he was presenting the MDC’s Agenda 2020. Chamisa said:
<blockquote>
We want genuine dialogue, the dialogue must be scaffolded and underwritten by a credible mediator. This dialogue must be a dialogue not about power nor position but a dialogue about vision, principles and the future of our country.
The national executive leaders appealed to me that when I raise the issue of dialogue next time I should request that our military, our soldiers be part of the negotiating table because they may have concerns that are not being addressed by politicians.
</blockquote>
The MDC refused to join the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) forum which was initiated by President Mnangagwa last year arguing that the forum was a circus.
Both ZANU PF and the MDC agree on the need to negotiate observing that dialogue will aid in resolving socio-economic and political crises in the country. However, they disagree on how the dialogue should be undertaken, who should be on the table and the convenor.

"Our Military, Our Soldiers Must Be Part Of The Dialogue" - CHAMISA

Freeman Chari, a Zimbabwean technology entrepreneur based in the USA who is also a prominent member of the opposition <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/MDC" title="MDC">MDC</a> in the diaspora has reiterated remarks by MDC that 2018 elections were manipulated in favour of the ruling ZANU PF.
Chari posted on Twitter and said:
<blockquote>No competent court or sane person here would ever believe that in Mutare North only 13 993 people voted for Parliament and 18 349 decided not to vote at all but chose to vote for President. The elections were doctored, that is a fact. But our courts are captured.

"Diagrams In EXCELGATE Show How ZEC Created An Illegal Route To Transmit Presidential Election Results To Harare," Jonathan Moyo

Exiled former Cabinet Minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo has said that it is ridiculous to think that opposition MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa will be weakened by forcing him to join the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) forum. Moyo posted on twitter saying:
<blockquote>Losing an election is strength only in Zimbabwe. The idea that the cheated winner can be weakened by being stampeded into joining losers in a coalition of the weak is preposterous!</blockquote>
His remarks come after a Chronicle Editorial urged Chamisa to:
<blockquote>… do the right thing which is to swallow his pride and join 20 other political leaders who are working under the auspices of Polad. That is a strictly local structure to take our country to greater political consensus. </blockquote>
The article comes after President Emmerson Mnangagwa had said that there will be no other dialogue outside POLAD as Chamisa has been calling for.
Both Mnangagwa and Chamisa have reiterated that dialogue was essential for the transformation of the country but they, however, differ on technicalities.
Chamisa has been demanding for a foreign mediator but discarded the demand only recently. He also wants the dialogue to be out POLAD and also to discuss Mnangagwa’s legitimacy.
ZANU PF is rejecting all the demands.

<blockquote>The New Dispensation under the guidance of President Mnangagwa is what prompted me to come back. Yes, I contested against him, but I have to swallow my pride so that we can move the country forward and he has also opened his door to any Zimbabwean who would want to move the country forward.
My way forward now as a member of Zanu-PF is to just serve the party and the nation and I am ready to work so that we can move the country forward collectively. The conference was a resounding success and everything went well without any incident, so I am very excited that I was part of it and it was a historic one.</blockquote>

PICTURE: A Blast From The Past, ED's Campaign Promise On Healthcare

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has told the ruling ZANU PF which he heads that it has to fulfil the promises made to the electorate.
Addressing delegates at the party’s 18th Annual People’s Conference held at Goromonzi High School from Thursday to Sunday, Mnangagwa said:
<blockquote>As we come to the end of this mega event, let these resolutions that we have made here embolden us and inspire action.
These conferences are not talking shows. We must deliver on our promises. To this we must remain focused, united and guided by our party constitution.</blockquote>
His remarks come amidst reports that voter turnout has decreased significantly over the years as the electorate feels disillusioned with politicians across the political divide failing to deliver on pre-election promises.
The remarks also come as a wake-up call to the ruling party which is governing a disgruntled nation due to socioeconomic and political crises in the country which are characterised, among others, by a huge deficit in fuel, foreign currency, electricity, food, medicines and a shrinking democratic space, despite the ruling party pledging in its pre-election manifesto to deal with the issues.

Mteki was part of POLAD, a dialogue platform initiated by Mnangagwa where most of the presidential candidates in the 2018 elections are participating.
The opposition MDC led by Nelson Chamisa snubbed POLAD saying no results were coming out of the platform where members accused of being ZANU PF agents are participating.

<blockquote>All told, it is clear from the foregoing that the military had a rigging conspiracy or that it colluded with (the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission) Zec through (chairperson Priscilla) Chigumba and the (Constitutional Court) ConCourt via (Chief Justice Luke) Malaba,” reads an extract from the book.
Results for the presidential and the National Assembly elections were transmitted using different routes from the ward collation centre.
While the destination for the National Assembly election results was the constituency centre, the presidential results were forwarded to the district centre for onward transmission to the national command centre in Harare</blockquote>
The exiled politician has always maintained that the election was rigged and his book will shed more light on his claims.

"Chamisa Is Disobeying God By Rejecting Results Of The 2018 Elections," - ED

Exiled former Minister of Information and Broadcasting Service, Professor Jonathan Moyo has claimed that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is the one who engineered the alleged election manipulation in 2018.
His remarks come when the opposition MDC led by Nelson Chamisa is refusing to acknowledge President Emmerson Mnangagwa as the president of Zimbabwe saying that the ruling party, in connivance with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, manipulated the 2018 presidential election results in favour of Mnangagwa.
Speaking in an interview with News Day’s Everson Mushava, on the likely consequences of Chiwenga’s return from China where he spent four months receiving medical attention, Moyo claimed that the former army general plotted the rigging.
Asked how Chiwenga mastermind the electoral theft of presidential polls that benefited Mnangagwa, Moyo responded:
<blockquote>It is in my forthcoming book to be published in two weeks’ time.</blockquote>
The MDC challenged the election results at the courts and lost the suit with the judges saying that the opposition party failed to present before the court, evidence to prove that the elections were stolen.
The has called for electoral reforms vowing not to partake in the 2023 elections if the current ZEC team is still in office.

Speaking in an interview with Daily News reporter, Blessing Mashaya, MDC Secretary for Elections, Jacob Mafume said:
<blockquote>We continue to participate to expose the chaos and bias in Zec, its incapacity to run a credible election and its unwillingness to implement recommendations of the 2018 observer missions.
To date, they have not released the 2018 election report as required by law, neither have they done so for subsequent by-elections.</blockquote>
Earlier this year, Chamisa announced that <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/07/11/chamisa-mocked-for-there-will-be-no-elections-under-current-zec-remarks/">the party would no longer be participating in the ZEC-run elections if the commission was not dissolved.</a>
The party accuses ZEC of having connived with the ruling ZANU PF to manipulate the 2018 presidential elections in favour of the ZANU PF’s candidate President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

MDC Reveals Why They're Still Participating In ZEC-Run Elections

Advocate Jacob Mafume, the Secretary for Elections in the opposition MDC led by advocate Nelson Chamisa has said that the ongoing by-elections do not reflect the will of the electorate as they are being manipulated by the ruling ZANU PF.
His remarks come when the MDC has lost almost all Parliamentary and Council by-elections held countrywide since the 2018 elections.
Responding to a question by Daily News’ Blessings Mashaya on the reasons why the party was losing in the by-elections, Mafume said that they did not lose, but Zanu PF retained its seats in those areas.
He added that ZANU PF had captured the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), security sector and traditional leaders to influence the results of the elections. He added:
<blockquote>This is democracy under threat and the principle of one man, one vote is under siege. Headmen are being used to shepherd villagers to polling stations, some even have the guts to be Zanu PF polling agents.
Then there is the issue of food aid and the role traditional leaders are playing in partisan distribution. It’s now a choice between starvation and democratic rights as opposed to Zanu PF vs MDC.</blockquote>
He said that the party will push for electoral reforms.

MDC: "The Electorate Is Not Choosing Between ZANU PF Or MDC In By-Elections"

The director of the Harare-based Zimbabwe Democracy Institute (ZDI), Pedzisai Ruhanya, has said that it is imperative to understand the political culture in Zimbabwe for one to fully appreciate the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/08/chamisa-vs-ed-and-others-detailed-con-court-judgment-on-2018-presidential-election-challenge-pdf/">Constitutional Court judgment in the 2018 presidential elections challenge case</a>.
Ruhanya said that usually, politics has supremacy over the law, therefore, overreliance on legal positivism, <a href="https://www.iep.utm.edu/legalpos/">a philosophy of law that emphasizes that law is socially constructed opposed to natural law</a>, is dangerous since that does not work. He added:
<blockquote>In many respects, judgement of the ConCourt falls in my larger and broader argument that the leadership of a country, political parties are not matters for the judiciary to determine but largely a political matter. POLITICAL CONTESTATIONS matter more than judicial proceedings!</blockquote>
The Constitutional Court was ruling on a matter which came into being after opposition MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa filed an application seeking the nullification of ZEC’s 2018 presidential elections results saying they had been tampered with.
His remarks come when some analysts have claimed that the judiciary system in the country is captured by the ruling ZANU PF.
