ZANU PF’S 5 MILLION VOTES TARGET IN 2023 ON TRACK AS PARTY MEMBERSHIP REACHES 4 MILLION; VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FOR PRESIDENT MNANGAGWA
By Taonga Botolo
President Emmerson Mnangagwa is succeeding from all fronts. Economically, he has succeeded to take Zimbabwe out of the abyss it has been for the last two decades.
Politically, his charming character, shrewdness, calmness and personal demeanour have all helped The Crocodile, as President Mnangagwa is affectionately known in the political circles, to re-brand Zanu PF into an attractive and popular political party on the land.
In just three years of being at the helm as the party’s president and First Secretary, President Mnangagwa has grown membership of the Zanu PF party to four million card carrying members.
The target is to hit five million registered members as the country heads to the 2023 harmonised elections.
The party has been carrying out restructuring exercise in all the 10 provinces, a development the acting Zanu PF spokesperson Cde Mike Bihma has described as fruitful and a game changer.
Cde Bimha also dispelled reports being peddled by opposition sympathisers that the revolutionary party was battling deep divisions saying, “Those saying Zanu PF is divided are living in fools paradise. The party is growing in numbers each passing day. As a party we are so united now than we have ever been in our history.”
In 2018, Zanu PF had nearly 2,500,000 Zimbabweans that voted for President Mnangagwa as President of the country.
The figure is expected to grow to five million during 2023 elections.
Zanu PF was founded in 1963 as a militant organisation that fought against white minority rule.
The ideologically driven pan-african nationalist left wing party has been in power since independence in 1980.
