Emmerson Mnangagwa will win comfortably in 2023 elections

President Emmerson Mnangagwa will win comfortably in 2023 elections.

The Economist Intelligence Union, a member of The Economist Group has released a 2023 election forecast predicting a comfortable win for Mnangagwa’s ruling party Zanu PF.The EUI which has over 60 years in intelligence gathering and reporting on countries also projected that the Zimbabwean dollar rate will be ZW$7.1:USD$1 in 2024.


The report was released on 9 October 2019.Read an extract of the projection below:.In the most recent presidential election, in July 2018, Mr Mnangagwa won 50.8% of the votes just enough to avoid a run-off against his nearest rival, Nelson Chamisa of the MDC.Mr Chamisa secured 44.3% of the vote, with the remainder spread across the other 21 candidates.In the legislative election, which was held at the same time,


Zanu-PF secured a two-thirds parliamentary majority, with 179 out of 270 seats.Zanu-PF remains in a dominant position because any group splitting from the ruling party would lose access to the benefits of incumbency.Nevertheless, the emergence of divisions within Zanu-PF cannot be ruled out as the economic situation remains perilous.

 The opposition has little political authority or ability to hold the government to account.The next presidential and legislative elections are due to be held in 2023. We expect Zanu-PF to win comfortably given its stranglehold on the political scene (although the elections are unlikely to be free or fair).Because of the ruling party’s dominance, we deem early elections to be unlikely, despite significant political and economic tensions.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

The demise of the former president.Robert Mugabe, the man from whom Grace drew power and protection, leaves his wife now exposed. Grace, who during the greater part of husband's presidency had been focused on charity work, before later venturing into politics..With the support of Mugabe, Grace was in December 2014 parachuted to the helm of ZANU-PF Women's League, automatically qualifying to sit in the ruling party's highest decision-making body, the Politburo..The ex-First Lady then used her position and marriage to Mugabe to vilify all those she perceived to be harbouring ambitions of succeeding Zimbabwe's long-time ruler..She became literally untouchable with ministers currying favours with her to avoid being sacked by the President. The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
