Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>National Patriotic Front (NPF) party spokesperson, Jealousy Mawarire has said President Emmerson Mnangagwa is not in power because the people \u201cwho installed him\u201d still want him there.<\/p>\n

Mawarire, a journalist and the executive director and founding trustee for the Centre for Elections and Democracy in Southern Africa (CEDSA) says the \u201ckingmakers\u201d may opt for Chiwenga, \u201cnothing will stop them.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was responding to a Twitter post by one Jonathan Chirandu who had said, \u201cWith both Mnangagwa & his guardian Chiwenga having badly failed the leadership test, can we not say that a Chiwenga presidency is all but dead?\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, Mawarire said Mnangagwa was not elected based on competency. He said:<\/p>\n

Was ED elected on the basis of ability that he can be judged to have failed? As long as those who installed him still want him there, he will stay & if they want Chiwenga instead, nothing will stop them, failure is the least of their concerns.<\/p>\n

His remarks come as Zimbabwe is gearing for the 2023 harmonised elections amid concern that they might be disputed as violence is escalating.<\/p>\n

There have been reports that security chefs have a stake in the ruling ZANU PF and government and have been pulling strings to determine the country\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
