Chamisa consulting on way forward
30 Aug 2018 at 07:12hrs | Views
MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa will this Sunday embark on nation-wide rallies to consult his supporters on the way forward in the aftermath of his electoral loss to President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Chamisa had already lined up countrywide rallies beginning with Kwekwe this Sunday to thank his supporters for voting him.
Ironically, Chamisa's rallies come at a time when president Emmerson Mnangagwa is also lining up countrywide tours to thank the people for voting for him and Zanu-PF in the July 30 harmonised elections.
Chamisa's spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda said his boss will address his first rally in Kwekwe.
"The president is going to address the people of Zimbabwe, thanking them for overwhelmingly voting him. We were the first to apply to the police but after that I heard Mnangagwa is also having rallies and from that you know who the president is. The organising department is still doing the president's itinerary but the president will address people in every corner of Zimbabwe," Sibanda said.
The rallies come after the Constitutional Court unanimously upheld Mnangagwa's July 30 election victory and threw out Chamisa's petition that had sought to overturn the result.
However, after the court verdict the youthful opposition leader refused to accept Mnangagwa's victory, insisting that he was the legitimate winner of the tightly-contested presidential plebiscite.
