Zanu Pf co vice president, Kembo Mohadi has advised the ruling party to use effective strategies in the upcoming 2023 general elections.
He said the previous 2013 and 2018 statistics on general elections were a warning to the ruling party that the opposition is gaining ground.
Addressing local chiefs and several village heads from across Mwenezi District who were bussed to Rutenga growth point for a ZANU PF meeting on Wednesday, 8 June, Mohadi revealed previous statistics of election results between the opposition and Zanu Pf.
“In the 2018 general elections, the opposition amassed 2.1 million votes while our party garnered 2.4 million.
“Given that during the 2013 elections we had defeated them with a gap of one million, it means they covered the gap with a huge margin in the 2018 elections.
“These are genuine statistics which ought us to worry much and if we are not careful we can lose the upcoming elections,” he said.
Mohadi also acknowledged the current economic challenges in the country, but blamed Western sanctions for causing them.
