Nelson Chamisa's leadership qualities and fear of elections

The Faulty Begining
 Nelson Chamisa's story in politics started with college protests against a sitting black government. The demonstrations were all about food and allowances. He was a leader of misguided students who used their stomachs to think. The demonstrations were a direct act of peer pressure without political direction or conviction. It is against this background that the leadership qualities of Nelson Chamisa become questionable today.

Rhodesian Leanings 

 When Nelson Chamisa left college he moved into the newly formed and Rhodesian-sponsored Movement of Democratic Change. The MDC was sponsored by the land-dispossessed white settlers and fronted by Morgan Tsvangirayi. Nelson Chamisa by joining the MDC makes him a sellout from my point of view. The MDC under Morgan Tsvangirayi and on behalf of its Rhodesian sponsors called for and assisted in the drafting of the ZIDERA sanctions bill in 2001. Nelson Chamisa and Tendai Biti had the guts to beg for an extension of the ZIDERA sanctions in February 2018. The very act of a black Zimbabwean flying to Washington DC and sitting in the United States Senate and calling for an extension of sanctions against his own people and country is disgusting. There is no sane Zimbabwean who can trust an unpatriotic person and character like Nelson Chamisa to be the President of Zimbabwe.

 Nelson Chamisa an Unelectable Dictator 

 Nelson Chamisa has not only displayed dictatorial and dishonest from the very day he lied that he had been "appointed" by Morgan Tsvangirayi to lead MDC-T after the latter's death. He was never elected to be a leader of MDC -T and even avoided going to congress. Nelson Chamisa dodged the MDC-T congress and formed the MDC Alliance. It is a fact that Nelson Chamisa had to form and appoint himself President of CCC formation after the courts stopped him from using the name and offices of the Movement of Democratic Change. The fact to all Zimbabweans is that Nelson Chamisa has not been in any party elections since the year 2013. 

Our question as Zimbabweans, is how can a person who has never contested in his own party or party win national elections? How can a person who leads an unelected and structureless entity win an election? 

 The 2023 Verdict 

 The truth is that Nelson Chamisa will not win the 2023 election because of the question of legitimacy, his stance of supporting sanctions and the gap between his structureless group of friends from the grassroots electorate. He cannot be the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe.
