President Robert Mugabe on Friday in Bindura, Mashonaland Central called on politicians in the country not to force people to support them.
The 92-year-old leader, who has been in power for 36 year, said people must support parties out of their choice.
Mugabe emphasised that guns must not lead politics, but instead it should be vice versa.
"When we say we fought for the people, why then are we fighting them," Mugabe said.
On late payment of civil servants salaries, Mugabe said it is true the Government has been facing challenges and at times delaying paying people by weeks or even months.
Mugabe said every nation has its problems.
