Opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has admitted that he learned the hard way after controversially losing the 2018 elections saying that this time his party “will field polling agents at every polling station”.
Addressing a packed “thank you” rally at Mucheke Stadium in Masvingo, Chamisa said his former party MDC Alliance was “beaten in areas where we did not field polling agents” during the last plebiscite.
In 2018, Zanu-PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa won 50.8% of votes, compared to 44.3% for Chamisa.
With less than a year into another election, Chamisa said one of the problems that led to their defeat was lack of polling agents.
“This time, we will field polling agents at every polling station. Last time, we were beaten in areas where we did not field polling agents,” he said.
Chamisa has, since 2018, refused to concede defeat, accusing Mnangagwa of rigging the election. He said this is the reason why the Zanu-PF regime is ‘failing to manage the economy’.
“Mnangagwa is now feeling the heat and he regrets why he stole the election victory from me in 2018. He is failing to make ends meet as the economy continues to fall. What I am sure of is that the whole nation has now allowed me to lead the country,” he said.
“We have changed the political system in Zimbabwe. Some are pushing me to tell people to go to the streets. I will not do that. We lead with God and God is not confused.”
If he wins the upcoming election, Chamisa promised to improve the welfare of the security forces. He also promised not to reverse the gains of the liberation struggle by returning land to the former white owners.
“We are going to give people title deeds to land. We will not return the land to the white owners as is always being propagated. I heard them say that if the boy gets into power, he is going to take back the land to the whites. No! That is never going to happen, we are going to give title deeds to our people,” Chamisa said.

Mobhadharao mapolling agent enyu.kwete kshandisa vana vevanhu mahara.tnokuzivai ka maPolitician
Hahaha Zanu pf puts some polling stations in the Bush where Zanu pf spend the whole day voting. 2013 I was in Mhondoro Ngezi. There is a road from Zimplats mines to the National park. No single village or homes is found there. It’s a thick Bush forests, with Zimplats water pump station being the only area that will be having a security Guard. I found a polling station right in the middle of that Bush manned by two police officers and some officials inside.
Keepwell Zuzumbe so why didnt you call other people to be witnesses?
Keepwell Zuzumbe I guess you assisted them for a fee
Sydney Mukwenje what was that going to help. Without reforms things like that will continue to happen.
Sydney Mukwenje u do not know Zanu pf well
Sydney Mukwenje You are living in dream land and you do not know Zanu pf
Voting in makeshifts polling stations and you say that today when people have forgotten about those elections? In March in Dangamvura constituency by elections some CCC youths were given $10 each after proving that they had voted for CCC by producing a foto of the ballot paper 😂😂😂
Reforms plz
So maV11 wanga usina hako wainyeba
Please pray now before the elections
He has a lot to do. Polling agents is not the only thing.
Pushing for Electoral reforms will be his task for the coming 5 years.
There’s nothing to register to vote for when there are no reforms. Zanu will still be announced the winner next year no matter how many people vote.
Pliz pay them this tyme round, since they cant do it for free
