Political analysts have thumped up the Fitch Solutions First Quarter Zimbabwe Country Risk Report, which predicted ZANU PF’s victory in the forthcoming harmonised elections.
According to Fitch latest report titled “Zimbabwe Country Risk Report”, the information services company described President Mnangagwa as a “reform-minded” leader whose Government will “focus on efforts to strengthen the economy and attract investments.
“At Fitch Solutions we expect that ZANU PF will win a comfortable majority in the Parliamentary elections in July, with the ruling administration benefiting from a host of incumbency advantages,” reiterated the report.
Speaking to this publication, a political analyst, Siyabonga Ncube, described the survey as unemotional and neutral as it mirrored the concrete realities arising from the ongoing ZANU PF cell building and developmental projects being spearheaded by the Party.
“The results from Fitch Solutions are more credible as the outcome was interpreted as a sign of the incremental gains being made by ZANU PF in opposition strongholds, driven by success in both stabilising and growing the economy. Also a point to note is that Fitch Solutions is considered to be a leading provider of credit intelligence and a source of up to date socio-economic and political data used by the world’s leading financial institutions, multinational companies and Government agencies.
“The economic environment which is being witnessed through the works and efforts of the Second Republic under the leadership of President Mnangagwa is something as a country we have not witnessed before. The party’s candidate, President Mnangagwa, has shown his determination in leading the economy which is something we need as country to be able to achieve Vision 2030,” said Ncube.
Meanwhile, political analysts have continued to dismiss the Brenthurst Foundation poll survey which predicted a Nelson Chamisa win in the plebiscite saying it was tainted with propaganda motives. They also pointed out that the opposition was disjointed and is currently without a constitution, structures or better still a sound ideology to make the presumed assumption that it will win the polls with nothing well deserving to show for it.
