• A lawyer and a pastor, Chamisa is the most formidable candidate against the ruling Zanu-PF led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
• The incumbent took over after the coup that ousted the country’s founding president Robert Mugabe in 2017.
• Chamisa is over three decades younger than his (81-year-old) opponent, and the youngest person running for president in this election.
• His youthfulness has been a major issue in this election, as it was in the last.

Youth appeal

• The World Bank puts the country’s battered economy at just under US$ 21 billion.
• Chamisa’s appeal to the youth vote has been received along partisan lines.
• For his support base of mostly young urbanites, Chamisa’s youth is his trump card.
• But will this be enough to help him win his first election as the founding leader of CCC?

Voter apathy, funding and harassment

• In addition to voter apathy, Chamisa must contend with other hurdles within the opposition movement and the usual obstacles of running for office in electoral authoritarian state.
• Chamisa founded the CCC following his forced exit from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) in 2021.
• The married father of three had been mentored by the opposition movement’s founder, the late Morgan Tsvangirai.
• But Tsvangirai’s death in 2018 ended Chamisa’s career in the party as divisions grew between him and the old guard.
• Job Sikhala, a senior member of the opposition, has been in jail for over a year on unclear charges.

One man show

• On the social platform X, where he has more than a million followers, he regularly only shares Bible verses or ambiguous messages.
• This is a lost opportunity for a candidate counting on the youth vote.
• Many who hoped for change after Mugabe’s ouster are dismayed by the continuing economic challenges and increasing militarisation of the Zimbabwean politics.
