Let’s vanquish opposition: ED

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa wants his ruling Zanu PF party to vanquish the opposition in by-elections and the 2023 general elections, citing inspiration from the performance of Chama Cha Mapinduzi in Tanzania.

“The resounding victory of our sister party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi in Tanzania which won 262 seats of the 264 parliamentary seats, must inspire Zanu PF to vanquish the opposition in the forthcoming by-elections and subsequent 2023 general elections,” Mnangagwa told a meeting of the Zanu PF politburo yesterday.

Addressing a post-politburo meeting, acting spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa said the politburo had agreed to focus on the 2023 polls.
