By A Correspondent- Zanu Pf’s Secretary for Legal Affairs Paul Mangwana has told the opposition MDC to wait for 2023 to contest the election adding that contestation for legitimacy ended in July 2018 where his party’s leader got the mandate to rule the country.

Mangwana said this at a discussion hosted by ZimPapers TV Network in Harare Wednesday.

He said:

“2023…That is when we will have another contestation as to who has the right to rule the country. So that issue is not on the negotiating table and will not be on the negotiation table.

We can talk about many other issues but not who has the right to run this country until the next election. That right was given to Zanu Pf through the ballot box.

Let noone kid themselves that Zanu Pf is prepared to negotiate its right to rule. It will not.”
