The political temperature is rising in Zimbabwe with political parties hitting the campaign trail for the elections set for July 31.

Zimbabwean Prime Minister and Movement for Democractic Change (MDC) President Morgan Tsvangirai, left, and his wife Elizabeth greet the audience on the first day of the party’s National Policy Conference in Harare, May 17, 2013.

Zanu-PF was the first out of the blocks, launching its election manifesto yesterday in Highfield. The launch headlined by President Mugabe was pregnant with rhetoric and short of details on how the party would carry the nation forward.

Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC is next with its launch set for Sunday in Marondera. This is a make or break political battle for Tsvangirai. If he fails to unseat Mugabe, then it will be curtains for him.

He is expected to attack his rival’s abysmal record in power and continue to hammer home the point that at 89, Mugabe is too old to be given yet another five years in power.

“On Sunday, we launch our Manifesto and the 2013 election campaign at Rudhaka Stadium in Marondera. Bhora mberi. To the youth, please come in your numbers. It’s cool to vote. Do not outsource your future to other generations because the future belongs to you. Please, grab it now. So, Rudhaka it is on Sunday,” said the MDC in a statement. ZimbabweElection.com

Moses Tofa: "For the past 24 years, Zimbabwe’s opposition has been valiantly fighting to remove ZANU-PF from power through elections. Along the way, thousands of opposition leaders and supporters were killed or maimed. It has not been an easy fight because of the nature of the regime in Zimbabwe. Some “stalwarts of the struggle” have fallen by the way side with many of them either joining ZANU-PF or clandestinely working with the regime to further their own interests."

By Nelson Chamisa Fellow citizens, I have prepared this brief statement to update you on the efforts around the resolution of the disputed outcome of the August 2023 general elections that did not produce a credible and legitimate government chosen by the citizens of Zimbabwe. As you are aware, following the shambolic and disputed August 2023 elections, we held nationwide consultations with you, the citizens, and all other relevant stakeholders, on the ways and means to resolve the electoral fraud. You, the citizens of Zimbabwe, are very clear and firm on the position that the elections were improperly conducted, indeterminate and produced a manipulated outcome.
