As Zimbabweans take to the polls tomorrow, Wednesday, 23 August, already pre-election campaigning has been marred by emotions.
MIXED EMOTIONS AS ZIMBABWEANS CAST THEIR VOTES TOMORROW
Favourites, Zanu-pf supporters will be looking to retain its government, led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa – a party that brought independence to Zimbabwe in 1980, while the Citizen for Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa will look to remove the ruling party from power.
Elections in Zimbabwe have had its great share of controversial endings, with oppositions accusing the ruling party of rigging the votes. Already some civil organisations such as the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition have made some damning accusations. The organisation says that it has done assessments from January 2022 to date assessing the electoral environment of Zimbabwe and the verdict was that the electoral process is not free, fair and credible.

OPPOSITION SUPPORTER SCARY SENTIMENTS
Arguably the most passionate hater of the ruling party emerged on X today with threats to end his life should Zanu-pf conquer once again. The young man is understood to be a CCC supporter.
“A CCC said he will kill himself if President ED Mnangagwa wins elections tomorrow. May his soul rest in peace in advance,” Snowball Tongogara tweeted.
