Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, is trying to unseat President Emmerson Mnangagwa of the governing ZANU-PF party in presidential and parliamentary elections on Wednesday.
from relentless economic chaos, analysts warn the odds are heavily skewed against Chamisa, who narrowly lost to Mnangagwa in a disputed election in 2018.
A lawyer and pastor by training, Chamisa became Zimbabwe's youngest ever presidential candidate in 2018 when he lost to Mnangagwa. After losing a bruising legal battle to a rival MDC faction, Chamisa changed the name of his camp to the Citizens Coalition for Change . The CCC immediately established itself as the main challenger to ZANU-PF after winning the most seats in parliamentary by-elections held in March 2022.He has pledged to grow the economy, fight corruption and end his country's international isolation.
