Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has named his shadow cabinet following mounting pressure to create party structures.

British political scientist professor Stephen Chan, who recently met Chamisa, said the move by Chamisa will enable the West to know who it would be dealing with portfolio by portfolio, in the event of a 2023 CCC electoral victory.

Chan said: “I am very happy he has done this. During our meeting, and in some of my media interviews while in Zimbabwe, I stressed the need for the West to know with whom it would be dealing, portfolio by portfolio, in the event of a 2023 CCC electoral victory.”

Chamisa’s shadow cabinet, the first ever under his newly constituted opposition, sees one of his deputies Tendai Biti a role of finance minister.
