Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>An unnamed diplomat from the United States Embassy, Harare, reportedly visited the ruling ZANU PF party last week to pledge Washington\u2019s support for President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

According to ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa, the American government official visited the party\u2019s offices and said the US will no longer back the opposition against the ruling party.<\/p>\n

Mutsvangwa made the claim while addressing a ZANU PF Mashonaland West Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting in Chinhoyi on Sunday. NewZimbabwe.com<\/b> quoted Mutsvangwa as saying:<\/p>\n

Let me tell you that three days ago, for the very first time, a top diplomat who was representing the Ambassador, who is yet to come, came to our ZANU PF party offices.<\/p>\n

The diplomat said we have come because you are faced with elections, so we want to assure you that we have dug a hole in the ground and spat to say never again shall we side with only one party … this time around, all of your parties are equal.<\/p>\n

America will accept the outcome of the 2023 harmonised elections expected to be held in a free and fair environment.<\/p>\n

We as ZANU PF have maintained we are friends to all and enemies to none.<\/p>\n

Relations between the ZANU PF-led government and the United States became strained at the turn of the Millenium after Harare embarked on the fast-track land reform programme.<\/p>\n
