By Own Correspondent| Vice President and Minister of Defence and War Veterans Affairs Constantino Guvheya Chiwenga has urged MDC Alliance to accept the presidential election results adding that the Alliance should not be surprised by losing to Zanu Pf because “there are no miracles in an election”.

Chiwenga also urged Zimbabweans to shun anything that brings instability and problems into the country calling on citizens to be peaceful and hardworking.

Said Chiwenga:

“On the issue of elections, I think you have heard even his Excellency President Mnangagwa saying that elections are over and we want to go ahead with development.

If you go into a race, you must know that there are two things you are going to meet, either you win or you lose. You can go into a race knowing that you are going to lose because in an election there are no miracles. Don’t expect miracles and luck.

In a game of politics, it is the message you are giving to the electorate that matters. Does that message convince the electorate? What is it that you have done which you can say to the electorate vote me for the next five years?

Zimbabweans must rise to the occasion. We must negate anything which brings instability and problems into our country.

Be peaceful and hard-working and convince ourselves in our minds that no one will come and build this country, but ourselves.”
