Popular award winning journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono, yesterday warned Chamisa that he faces certain defeat in the 2023 Presidential elections if he does not attend to the situation developing in Matabeleland.

This follows the announcement by All People ‘s Party that former Zimbabwe national soccer team captain, Peter Ndlovu, will be their Presidential candidate in 2023.

Writing on his widely followed Facebook Page, Chin’ono said:

Matebeleland is key, and also unique.

If it fields more presidential candidates with name recognition, Mnangagwa will smile all the way back to State House due to a split vote!

It needs to build a coalition that rallies behind one viable national candidate, Nelson Chamisa!

The MDC must sit down with people from Matebeleland and hear their issues, and agree to how they will be resolved upon victory!

They have genuine grievances that must be promised to be fixed in ink!

An opposition alliance needs Matebeleland, sit and talk with respect!
