Zimbabwe opposition groups fight among themselves instead of against the ruling party. The Citizens Coalition for Change once stood strong but grew weak after its leader, Nelson Chamisa, left in 2023. Members care more about fancy cars and money than helping voters. Many people who went to jail supporting these leaders feel let down.
Sengezo Tshabangu kicked out dozens of elected officials, claiming they did not belong in the party. His actions helped the Zanu-PF party win more seats in the government. Some opposition members visited President Mnangagwa at his farm to show support. The ruling party calls the opposition outdated and unable to change with the times.
Political experts say the opposition might disappear completely if things stay this way. They believe a fresh movement must start with new faces who care about voters. Zanu-PF has run Zimbabwe since 1980 and wants to change the rules to let Mnangagwa stay president until 2030. Many citizens who dislike the government feel they have nobody left to vote for.
