Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Disqualified 2023 presidential candidate Saviour Kasukuwere has urged his supporters not to vote for the incumbent Emmerson Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n

Eleven (11) candidates are in the race for the presidency after Kasukuwere was removed from the list by a court that had been petitioned by a ZANU PF activist, Lovedale Mangwana, to bar him.<\/p>\n

Mangwana had argued that Kasukuwere had been out of the country for more than 18 months prior to the sitting of the Nomination Court on 21 June 2023.<\/p>\n

Asked by ZimLive if he would be endorsing any candidate, Kasukuwere said \u201cABE… Anyone but Emmerson\u201d.<\/p>\n

The former ZANU PF politburo member and cabinet minister has been in self-imposed exile since the 2017 military coup that ended Robert Mugabe\u2019s 37-year rule.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere has expressed his intention to one day return from exile in South Africa to lead ZANU PF.<\/p>\n

It is thought that he commands the support of Mugabe loyalists, particularly in the former president\u2019s Mashonaland strongholds.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere is Zezuru, while Mnangagwa and Nelson Chamisa, the leader of Zimbabwe\u2019s main opposition, CCC, are Karanga and hail from Midlands and Masvingo provinces respectively.<\/p>\n
