By Own Correspondent| Deputy Minister of Information and Media and Broadcasting Services, Energy Mutodi has said his boss Emmerson Mnangagwa will not elbow out of the presidential race opposition leader Nelson Chamisa come 2023.

Mutodi dismissed the claims that Mnangagwa’s administration will increase the presidential age limit to 52, a development which automatically disqualifies Chamisa from the presidential race.

However, Mutodi said Mnangagwa’s actions and policies will do his bidding for presidency in the 2023 plebiscite.

Said Mutodi:

Let me make it clear that His Excellency President ED Mnangagwa will not seek to outdo his rival in the last election Nelson Chamisa by increasing the age limit for Presidential candidates. Instead, his policies and actions will do the bidding for his next term.
