In terms of funding only, the ruling party Zanu PF clearly had a huge advantage over the competition as the campaign comes in the home stretch for the July 30 elections.
The billboards and banners of President Emmerson Mnangagwa Zanu PF also imported hundreds of new vehicles for the campaign from a $ 200 million war chest.
The ruling party received $ 6 million in cash in April of this year.
Where does the $ 200 million come from?
The ruling party's information director, Danny Musukuma, struggled to explain the source of funding last week.
The Patriotic Front (NPP) spokesman, Jealous Mawarire, said during an election debate in the capital that the campaign was being conducted by a fuel cartel controlled by Mnangagwa
. "They drove a businessman away and now own 50% of the fuel pipeline through some people they run
," said Mawarire. saw one of them (Kudakwashe Tagwirei) when his father died; the whole Cabinet closed, the President and all his Cabinet went to bury the father of the businessman.
"So you understand what's going on."
He adds: "The fuel industry is an eloquent example., They now control 100% of the sector.
" And they use the proceeds of these illicit buyouts from companies to finance their campaign
Responding to allegations, Zanu PF's Musukuma said that it was common cause that the Political Party Finance Act provides for the funding of the party
"And I think that's the only way to get it. it is necessary that I end there, "replied Musukuma
" I think the best and fairest thing to do for the public. my political party is saying that the issue of finance figures is something that I am not prepared to present on this platform yet
"Why should we disclose the source of party funding?"
Musukuma added: "I will say I trust Zanu PF is a political institution with a commercial structure and fundraising mechanism that is not even subject to verification by the people." [19659017] Why ruling party members who run for election do not have the same posters and billboards, even in their constituencies, Musukuma said the name change was a biased position for market Mnangagwa
"Zanu PF has taken a stand to market his nominee Mnangagwa in fashion to have convective media," In truth, it's a recognition that from November 2017 up to # At the time of the elections, Zimbabweans and members of the party in general were very familiar with a leader in the name of Robert Mugabe as party chairman and there was a need to present the new face and image of the party. left. "
Mawarire persisted though, saying," ED is funded by this cartel of rogue business people who took over the fuel industry. "
" That's why even if the price of fuel drops on the world market, they do not do the same thing in Zimbabwe because (the industry) being controlled by the president and his fronts. "
