By A Correspondent- The Nelson Chamisa led MDC-Alliance has invaded Zanu PF’s strongholds where the party is making headways in mobilising voters for the forthcoming elections.

The party’s secretary for rural mobilisation and strategy, Happymore Chidziva said they are convincing the electorate to dump Zanu PF in the rural areas.

Chidziva said although they were behind in mobilising rural votes ahead of the 2023 elections, the new methods of penetrating rural areas will shock Zanu PF come election day.

“Yes, these are difficult times. Time is not on our side. We must move with what we have. The truth is that a desire for change is pushing our people. The main resource that we need is the will to win,” Chidziva said.

In 2018, Chidziva became an MP after winning the Highfield West parliamentary seat.

However, he was recalled from Parliament last year by the MDC T led by Douglas Mwonzora. The MDC-T recalled more than 40 MDC Alliance MPs and about 80 councillors throughout the country.

“We are deepening our links, strengthening our rural networks and spreading all over. We can’t ventilate our strategies in public. We obey COVID-19 protocols, but they don’t prevent us from moving to voters, even if it means door-to-door,” he said.

For a long time, the opposition has been failing to penetrate rural areas — which have proved to be Zanu PF strongholds.
