There is no grain of doubt that the 2023 elections will produce a contested outcome, again.

Many in the opposition have been of the view that intimidation and coercive power have been the only tactic that the ruling party has deployed in elections.

The fact that this was allowed to happen showed that the leader was not accountable to anyone, not even the party structures.

A repeat offender, Moyo was also fired from the party in 2009 for failing to toe the party line and ran as an independent in the elections.

Mmusi Maimane has, over the years, expressed his disdain for the Zanu PF government and has consistently regurgitated whatever the opposition party in Zimbabwe has said.

The very set up of politics is, therefore, to realise that it is a negotiated space and at every moment one should be seeking arrangements that would benefit all the participants.
