By-Election in Zimbabwe 2022: The newly formed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) defeats ZANU PF

 In 19 of the 28 constituencies (67.9% of the vote), the Zimbabwean leader against the Citizens' Coalition for Change (CCC), led by Nelson Shamisa, won the last election. Dominating Zanu PF and MDC-T/Alliance.  

“Citizens came together and achieved a resounding victory for the movement,” said CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere after the results were announced. 

By-elections to the National Assembly and local authorities resulted in a shortage of seats for more than two years. There are nearly 100 council seats up for election. The 2020 general election has been postponed by the government due to COVID-19.

After splitting from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) on the domestic political battleground, CCC party leader Nelson Chamisa formed his own party at the end of The One months. In a by-election, the MDC failed to win a seat. 

Blackmail and vote buying destroyed the by-elections, according to independent election observers. CCC lawmakers claimed the council had restricted some gatherings due to a lack of police. During the two-month campaign, Chamisa also claimed that police tried to blackmail supporters into attending the rally. A CCC member was shot with a spear on his way to strike a few weeks ago, and last month 37 supporters were arrested. 

However, the news spread across the nation that there was no violence at Zimbabwe's polling stations. However, many incidents cannot be ignored in the 2022 election. 

The threat is not limited to attending CCC meetings. Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, echoing Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's remarks, cited opposition to the "explosion". 

Independent analysts such as the Zimbabwe Election Support Network believe that certain candidates' activities, such as providing meals to voters, amounted to vote buying. 

Turnout was higher than usual, especially in rural areas, as observers stated that many people needed help voting, which they felt was due to coercion. The CCC is attempting to defeat the ruling party, which has been in power since 1980 and is led by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, in this weekend's polls, which are seen as a warm-up for national elections next year.

National Coat of Arms of Zimbabwe

 A national coat of arms, often known as a state emblem, is the state's most visible symbol. Consider how the Coat of Arms is endorsed on all of the significant events in your life: birth, marriage, death, and school certificates, as well as your passport. It's on one of the sides of your tiniest coin. Seeing a plaque of it on the embassy when out of the nation signifies a home away from home. The coat of arms is also a key component of the Great Seal, which is historically regarded as the state's highest insignia. The President of Zimbabwe, by Statutory Instrument no.636 of September 1981, Armorial Bearings of Zimbabwe, formally accepted the Coat of Arms of Zimbabwe on September 12, 1981.   On the left and right, two kudus are depicted, each standing on top of an earthly mound made up of wheat stalks, a pile of cotton, and a head of maize. There is also a flag with the Zimbabwe national slogan at their feet (Unity, Freedom, Work). The shield is green in color, with 14 wave...

Why Travelers never turn their back on Zimbabwe?

The Mighty Victoria Falls, Matopo Hills, Great Zimbabwe Monuments, and wildlife in Hwange, Zambezi, Mana Pools, and Gonarezhou National Parks are just a few of the natural and man-made attractions that Zimbabwe is endowed with.   Jozef Behr , a regular visitor to Zimbabwe, stated on his travel blog, “It's a marvel that so many travelers never make it past Victoria Falls since some of Africa's highest concentrations of wildlife, most trained guides, and finest all-around values lie just beyond its roaring depths”.       According to Jozef Behr ’s article, the greatest time to visit Zimbabwe is between June and November, when animals, particularly birds, visit the Mana Pools along the Zambezi River to drink water.     The amount of hospitability, the sincere feeling of welcome, and the general service and contact experience from the Zimbabweans many travelers become frequent t raveler to this destination. They are so full of hope and optimism for what th...

Jozef Behr Claims That Chiremba Balancing Rock of Zimbabwe Has A Jaw dropping View

Jozef Behr, a travel blogger, is one of my favorites. In his blog, he recounts his own experience in a unique way. He discovered the world's hidden treasures and educated the public about their value. I followed in his footsteps as usual, and now I'm in Chiremba, Zimbabwe, to see the Balancing Rock.   I read Jozef Behr's blog about balancing rock last week, and he claims that "the balancing rock of Zimbabwe is not man-made but created naturally." And it makes me want to come here and view this natural marvel.   Off Chiremba Road, 13 kilometers south of Harare, are the Chiremba Balancing Rocks. The balancing rocks are rather impressive. Massive stones piled on top of one other create breathtaking natural sculptures. The Chiremba balancing rocks are one of Zimbabwe's most magnificent geological phenomena, and they are found across the nation. These rocks, like the Standing Stones of Scotland, look to have been constructed by people, yet they are the consequen...
