OPINION | Zimbabwe polls predict a Chamisa triumph over Mnangagwa - Asked why they were shifting their support, voters cited weak leadership, corruption, bad policies and future prospects as the main reasons
Results of an independent survey of Zimbabwean voters show that opposition leader Nelson Chamisa could defeat the incumbent president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, in the national elections later this year. But many voters expressed concern about whether the election would be free and fair.
Asked “Thinking ahead to the next general election, which party will you cast your vote for?”, 52% said they would vote for the CCC while 40% said Zanu-PF. But 47% of voters believe the 2023 election will not be free and fair compared to just 38% who say it will be free and fair. “Cheating in the counting process”’ was cited as the biggest threat to a free and fair election with “the government abusing its power” cited by 29% and “security force violence” cited by 21%.
When it came to political parties, the CCC enjoyed a net-favourability of 31%, way ahead of Zanu-PF’s -4%.
