Nelson Chamisa, former leader of Zimbabwe's opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), has extended his congratulations to Donald Trump on his election as the 47th President of the United States.

Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Chamisa said:
"CONGRATULATIONS to the 47th President of America, Donald Trump and to the American people for showcasing the power of free choice and the vitality of democracy."
He praised the U.S. electoral process, lauding the transparency and speed of the result announcement, which he highlighted as evidence of effective democratic governance.
"Elections are about choice, a true battle of ideas that should inspire patriotic and civilized discourse. The efficient voting process remains commendable. The swift and orderly announcement of results is proof of transparency and accountability, promoting the resilience of democratic systems," Chamisa continued in his post.
Chamisa also reflected on Zimbabwe's political landscape, emphasizing his aspirations for a Zimbabwe where elections are conducted with similar transparency and integrity. He urged for a political environment where every citizen's voice is acknowledged and counted.
"In Zimbabwe, our fight continues for a future where every voice is heard, every vote counts, where leadership reflects the true and full will of the people, and where institutions stand firmly in support of the Constitution."
He concluded with a call to embrace democratic values worldwide, hoping for a future marked by governance that upholds accountability and supports the aspirations of the people.
Chamisa's message has sparked discussions on social media, with many noting his aspirations for Zimbabwe's democratic future and drawing comparisons between electoral processes in the United States and Zimbabwe.
