Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>MDC-T president Douglas Mwonzora says he will win the 2023 Presidential election with a 66 percent winning margin.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Zimpapers Television Network (ZTN) programme, The Chase, on Thursday, Mwonzora also claimed that his party has a membership of over 500 000. He said:<\/p>\n

I am going to contest for the presidency of Zimbabwe, come election time. I am contesting not with the intention to accompany others but with the intention to win.<\/p>\n

We are going to garner 66 percent of the Presidential vote, record it, we are going to garner 66 percent.<\/p>\n

Mwonzora said the win percentage margin is based on research his team did. He said:<\/p>\n

I asked them to do research on the political strategy and should it work, and that is a critical assumption as well, it should generate such a vote.<\/p>\n

Since Mwonzora took over the MDC-T presidency in 2020, the party has failed to win a single local government or a parliamentary seat in by-elections held since March 2022.<\/p>\n

In the 2018 presidential election, MDC-T candidate Thokozani Khuphe managed just 45 573 votes equivalent to 0.95 percent.<\/p>\n

MDC Alliance candidate Nelson Chamisa garnered 44.93 percent of the votes, while ZANU PF candidate President Mnangagwa polled 2 460 463 translating to 51.48 percent of the total votes cast.<\/p>\n
