ZANU PF has made fresh inroads in MDC and Citizens Coalition for Change strongholds following its victory in constituencies like Mutasa South.
In a statement, ZANU PF secretary for information and publicity, Ambassador Chris Mutsvangwa said the fights between MDC and CCC formations handed the ruling party a chance to pick more National Assembly seats, thereby consolidating its two thirds majority in Parliament.
“ZANU PF is pleasantly relieved that it has kept and solidified its traditional support in the traditional rural bastions.
“The party of the Zimbabwe revolution is most delighted that it made fresh inroads in MDC-CCC urban strongholds.
“The internecine fights of the fractious MDC-CCC formations handed ZANU PF a chance to pick a few more National Assembly seats and thus increase further the two thirds absolute majority in Parliament,” said Ambassador Mutsvangwa.
Besides winning parliamentary seats, ZANU PF also won some local authority seats like Mutare City Council Ward Five where Cde Resistance Mundembe emerged victorious.
“It is clear that two decades of MDC-CCC urban neglect, feckless maladministration, screaming corruption and putrid decay are all finally beginning to invite the wrath of the long suffering urban citizenry at the expense of Nelson Chamisa and his acrimonious cohorts.
“Even more reassuring is the narrowing margins in those seats ZANU PF lost. This speaks volumes of the resurgent support of the party. ZANU PF is heartily encouraged by its catch from the MDC-CCC ponds,” he said.
Ambassador Mutsvangwa said the party is geared to bury the opposition in next year’s harmonised elections.
“The electoral jury is out. Come the 2023 harmonised elections, ZANU PF envisages an electoral tsunami that will drown the foreign spawned opposition and its reliance on alien sponsorship.
“President Mnangagwa has reason for a measure of smugness. His hopeful message of urban renewal is hitting the tuneful chords in our towns and cities. The urban appeal of the mantra Zimbabwe is Open For Business is energising entrepreneurial flair,” he said.
He added: “There is a takeaway message for ZANU PF party. The party of the Zimbabwe revolution is recovering its urban spunk and completing its portfolio of national socio-economic and political appeal.”
ZANU PF also hailed the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission for the professional discharge of duty during the by-elections despite an onslaught from the opposition.
“Zimbabwe democracy once more proved its homegrown mettle. Perhaps to the shame of those meddlesome West now preoccupied with the military imbroglio in Nelson Chamisa, true to pettiness is gloatful at his showdown with Douglas Mwonzora. He is celebrating the win of this consolation price.
“Indeed a paradox underscoring the vindication of the undisputed ascendancy of ZANU PF on the Zimbabwe political stage. He conveniently misses the point that the same election process that awards him the self adulatory win against his MDC-CCC adversaries is the one that equally lands him a drubbing from us.”
