The leader of Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), Nelson Chamisa has been attacked by former Cabinet Minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo for claiming victory in the just ended August 23 Harmonised General Elections.

On his X account, Professor Moyo struck at Chamisa stressing that the later was rejecting the will of the people.

“Chamisa and his lot must be careful about the obvious and thus self-evident consequences of their delinquent politics. You reject the will of the people expressed at an election that everyone including yourself knows you lost and an election which, objectively speaking, was non violent and was the most peaceful in ages, and an election which was superintended by a more transparent, more professional and more responsive Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), than ever seen before, you claim you won the presidential election and that you have the proof, but you fall far short of your claim because you cannot backup it up with the necessary V11s…,” said Moyo.

Moyo further advised Chamisa not to put the whole country on halt because he lost an election.

“You then want to bring the whole country down because you have lost an election; you reject institutions created under and by the Constitution; you reject national laws; you reject the judiciary created to interpret the laws and the Constitution; you reject the Constitution itself; and worse, you reject Zimbabwe's sovereignty; imagine that, you reject Zimbabwe's sovereignty, by demanding that international election observers and "other international players'" must take over and organize, supervise and run what you say is a necessary fresh election; and you do all this not even in the name of the people but in your own personal name; yes, your own name as Chamisa, for you and your lot to be in power for its own sake; you want the will of the people to be replaced by the will of international election observers and the will of unnamed "other international players"; whom you say must organise and conduct elections in Zimbabwe; and you think you should and you can get away with such political delinquency in 2023,” said Professor Moyo.

Meanwhile, the CCC has failed to produce the V11 forms pointing out that they were still collecting them yet these forms were given to the CCC candidates and agents in each ward and they were also stuck at polling stations and copies sent to CCC offices.

Moreover, one political commentator, Rutendo Matinyarare underlined that the CCC must be charged under the Criminal Law Codification and Amendment Act 22A (4) (b) for lying to international audience to induce more sanctions if they fail to produce the V11 forms.
