……as Mugwazo has failed to yield results
Political Reporter
Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) is reportedly mooting introducing a new mobilisation strategy following the failure of the mango strategy and Mugwazo mobilisation exercises to yield desired results.
A source who spoke to this publication said that Nelson Chamisa has tasked CCC’s secretary to the organising department, Farai Chinobva to come up with a new mobilisation strategy ahead of the 2023 elections.
“Chamisa has tasked Chinobva to devise a new mobilisation strategy following the failure of Mugwazo and the mango mobilisation strategies. Chamisa told Chinobva that the new mobilisation strategy should be implemented by technical people not politicians,” said the source.
According to the source, Chinobva is mooting employing new mobilisation strategies that involve the use of online constituency coordinators as well as door to door campaigns.
“Chinobva has acknowledged that Mugwazo mobilisation exercise and the Mango strategy had failed. He has come up with another mobilisation strategy that would entail employing online constituency coordinators to mobilise people using various social media platforms. Chinobva is also contemplating introducing to the party the door to door campaigns that will be led by CCC Ward Change Champions,” said the source.
The same source added that Chinobva was planning to print over 50 000 CCC brochures to be distributed across the country. These brochures would carry campaign messages in vernacular languages.
The source further said that Chinobva has already contracted a Harare printing company to start printing the brochures ahead of the official launch of the CCC 2023 elections campaign.
Meanwhile, there are reports that Chamisa’s co-deputy president, Tendai Biti has confided in his close allies that CCC has failed to penetrate rural areas. According to the source, Biti admitted that chances were slim for CCC to snatch rural constituencies from ZANU PF as that party’s electoral strategies were weak and ineffective.
