By A Correspondent | The country’s most popular politician, Nelson Chamisa’s new party, CCC, continues to excel in Bi elections as it won 7 out of the 8 bi elections run on the 7th May 2022. Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Zanu PF performed badly in all the 7 wards except in Mount Darwin where CCC lost. Meanwhile Douglas Mwonzora of the MDC T continues to struggle as in some wards he failed to garner even a single vote.

Contacted by ZimEye, Hon Amos Chibaya, the CCC’s National Organizing Champion congratulated all his party’s candidates. He also thanked the Citizens for voting their councillors back and urged them to go back and work hard and deliver what the citizens entrusted them for.

Hon Chibaya also praised the CCC external Assemblies that financially supported the 8 wards . UK, North America, Germany, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand were all twinned with contesting wards and they provided t/shirts, fliers, posters, food, fuel and airtime for campaign staff and election agents. Hon Amos Chibaya thanked the Diaspora assemblies and all Citizens for providing resources to the contesting candidates.
