Congratulations , Amhlope and Makorokoto to CCC.
President Chamisa has congratulated CCC candidates , CCC supporters and voters in Bulilima for winning yesterday by elections.
Dr. Thokozani Khupe, ward 4 Bulawayo urban councillor Anorld Batsirai Dube and other CCC leaders who were leading mugwazo and campaign in Bulilima deserve great appreciation for a job well done for working hard to defeat Zanu PF in rural Bulilima.
Also, Bulilima CCC leaders did a super job for mobilizing and recruiting people to vote for CCC.
All Bulilima voting stations had vigilant CCC election agents who protected votes.

This is a great loss to Zanu PF because in 2018 Zanu PF won these three wards.
It’s Citizens Coalition for Change 2 and Zanu PF 1.
The narrative that rural areas are Zanu PF stronghold was nullified yesterday after Bulilima rural voters rejected Zanu PF president Mnagangwa and his Zanu PF candidates.
Yesterday Zanu PF cabinet ministers Evelyn Ndlovu and Dingumi Phuti tried to rig by elections through busing people to vote at Malalume Secondary School. Interestingly, the bused voters end up voting for Citizens Coalition for Change candidates.
Zanu PF cannot win elections without using violence. In Bulilima there was no violence and Zanu PF lost. Contrary in Gokwe- Kabuyini Zanu PF used violence to win this parliamentary seat few weeks ago.
The once mighty MDC T party under Mwonzora failed to field candidates in Bulilima. Mwonzora has presided the death of MDC T party that defeated Mugabe in 2008. MDC T is now a laughing stock under Mwonzora.
On the other story, CCC winning Highfield East Member of Parliament Eric Murai and Highfield East CCC members are holding by election victory celebrations in Zimbabwe Grounds today.
Hon Eric Murai and CCC councillors defeated Zanu PF in March 2022 by elections.
