Zimbabweans cast ballots on Saturday in parliamentary and local authority by-elections seen as a yardstick of what is to come in next year's general polls.
The polls, which opened at 7am, have generated so much interest that President Emmerson Mnangagwa has led various campaign rallies to shore up support for ruling ZANU-PF candidates.
"We are going into a crucial by-election...it is a dry run of the 2023 election," Chamisa told his final campaign rally in a working-class district on the outskirts of Harare on Thursday.The new party drew massive crowds to its campaign rallies. ZANU-PF, which has led the country since independence from Britain in 1980, also attracted huge campaign crowds.
