CCC were hell bent on participating in flawed 2023 out of greed and now want to stampede into fresh flawed election

"Zimbabwe's main opposition party, the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), has initiated a 30-day campaign calling for fresh elections following last week's controversial poll results," reported Pindula.
"The party argues that the elections were severely flawed, making the outcome illegitimate. They propose holding new elections under the supervision of an "impartial" electoral body, different from the "biased" Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), or preferably under the supervision of SADC, African Union (AU), and or the United Nations (UN)."
This is nonsense! MDC/CCC has failed to implement even one token reform to stop Zanu PF rigging elections these last 23 years, including 5 in the GNU. It is none other than Chamisa himself who has insisted in participating in these flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy out of greed. Chamisa has lied about having winning in rigged elections strategies to hide the greed.
Now that SADC Election Observer Mission (SEOM) has condemned the 2023 elections were flawed the man who until 23 August 2023 claimed that he had plugged all Zanu PF vote rigging loop holes suddenly believes the elections are flawed.
CCC are calling for this 30-day campaign to call for fresh elections to stampede the nation into fresh elections without implementing the reforms. No wonder the party has failed to implement any reforms because Chamisa and company have no clue what the reforms are much less how they are implemented.
What Zimbabwe need right now is for the SADC Panel of Elders to uphold the SEOM's report and deny Zanu PF political legitimacy. SADC, with the help of EU and UN, must help in the formation of a new GNU whose primary task, like the 2008 to 2013 GNU, will be to implement the democratic reforms and end the curse of rigged elections and bad governance.
Both Zanu PF and CCC leaders must have no role in the new GNU. They were all in the 2008 to 2013 GNU that failed to implement even one token reform, it is naive, to say the least, to expect them to do any better second time round.
The people of Zimbabwe, SADC, etc. must ignore CCC's attention seeking public protests. The party has not only failed to implement the reforms to stop Zanu PF rigging elections but has insisted on participating in flawed elections out of greed. And now the party has the chutzpah to stage street protests against flawed elections for the sinister purpose of stampeding us all into forgetting the reforms and thus more flawed and illegal elections in the future!
