Zimbabwe's Citizens' Coalition for Change has an eye on forming the next governmentHARARE - Zimbabwe's main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa was Monday hopeful his party will win next year's general elections after securing two-thirds of the seats in weekend parliamentary and municipal by-elections against heavy odds.
His party, formed just three months ago as a splinter of the former largest and most credible rival to the ruling ZANU-PF, won 19 of the 28 contested parliamentary elections. "There was violence. We even lost one of our members. Some of our supporters were beaten and many others injured.""There is nothing that will stop us from forming the next government," he said, admitting the electoral commission -- perceived by critics to act in the interests of the ruling party -- needed to reform.
