Zimbabwe’s main opposition party CCC has won 23 out of Harare’s 26 declared seats.
The ruling ZANUPF party won 3 of the 26 declared seats.
Nelson Chamisa’s brother, Starman, lost his Mbare seat to ZANUPF.
Harare has 4 remaining declarations.The Cowdry Park result in Bulawayo is very interesting for those interested in knowing the local common feeling there.
Finance Minister and ZANUPF candidate in Cowdray Park Mthuli Ncube got 6,530 votes.
His leader and ZANUPF presidential candidate Emmerson Mnangagwa only got 3,317 votes in the same constituency.
It means 3,213 people who voted for ZANUPF’s Mthuli Ncube didn’t vote for the ZANUPF presidential candidate Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Meanwhile, the main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa won 11,205 votes in that constituency.
Another interesting statistic is that CCC's Pashor Sibanda got 8,411, and his boss Chamisa got 11,205 votes in Cowdry Park.
It means Chamisa is stronger and more popular than his party CCC, and Mnangagwa is weaker and his party is stronger than him.
If this Cowdry Park result is replicated across urban areas, Mnangagwa has to win big in rural areas to withstand Nelson Chamisa’s charge.
The downside is that the opposition will remain weaker in parliament, it is clearly now fighting to stop ZANUPF’s two thirds majority.
If ZANUPF were to win 2/3 majority, it would be catastrophic for Zimbabwe as they will change the constitution further derailing constitutional guaranteed freedoms.
