I voted for you in the presidential elections of 2018 and 2023, where the rigging of Zanu-PF was obvious and rampant.

Whether this was due to internal strife or not, I don't care. What I care about is the future of our country, which is in dire need of change and democracy. You only tweet about Bible verses and motivational speeches, apparently lacking action and leadership, especially with issues that need leadership.
