Former Vice-President Joice Mujuru's underground campaign, particularly in the rural areas has forced President Robert Mugabe and MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai to embark on campaigns countrywide.
Mugabe told Zanu PF supporters at Harare International Airport on Sunday that he would soon launch provincial campaigns to touch base with the electorate and mend rifts caused by factionalism.
"We will come to the provinces for meetings, telling you, with those who will organise the meetings, about the new ideas that we have to go ahead.
"And these issues of unity in Africa and going forward, the issues for women empowerment, youth advancement," he said.
Tsvangirai has already started his nationwide campaigns with party spokesperson Obert Gutu saying the meetings were meant to enable the MDC-T leader reconnect with the grassroots ahead of the 2018 elections.
"The president will be meeting the grassroots and I wish all of us, from the standing committee to the branch, could learn from him and emulate his politics. This is what Zimbabweans want, a hands-on person" he said.
