MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu has warned the rural votes will determine who will be the winner of the 2018 elections.
"The rural constituencies will determine who wins Election 2018.There is a deliberate and concerted effort by the Zanu PF regime to ring fence and commandeer the rural electorate," Gutu said.
"The regime has already unleashed a reign of silent terror in most rural areas and villagers are being intimidated from attending opposition political parties' events and activities.We are dealing with a morbidly recalcitrant and stubborn Stalinist regime that is determined to make rural areas no go areas for opposition political parties."
He said the game plan is for the regime to "win" by huge numbers in rural areas so that they can dilute whatever gains the opposition would have made in urban constituencies.
"Let us thwart this evil machination by ensuring that we penetrate rural areas using smart methods and also by encouraging the millions of young people to register to vote and also to ensure that they vote on polling day.For instance,if adequately mobilized,Harare province alone can produce no less than 1 million votes for the opposition," he said.
"One thing is for sure,though.The Zanu PF regime is not going to reform and what it effectively means is that the opposition has got to go for broke in Election 2018.It's a do or die mission.But it can be done."
He said for the sake of children and other future generations to come,let's kick the Zanu PF regime out of power in 2018.
