As the 2023 elections are fast approaching, Linda Masarira, leader of the Labour, Economists and African Democrats(LEAD) party, is in high anticipation. She plans to salvage the opportunity and use it to learn exactly what strategies she could implement to win the elections in 2028.
In an interview with Magamba TV Take Down, Masarira expressed her confidence that she will be the president in 2028 with a doubt. Her remarks were as follows:
“Realistically i will be the first female of Zimbabwe. 2023 has got a lot of political dynamics in place and for me I am going to take 2023 as a lesson. I am going to get into it to understand the ropes because you cannot just jump into it or get to it just because you have just jumped into a pool.
We always have to learn, we always have to take baby steps and we always have to learn how to do things. So for me I don’t see myself getting into power in 2023 because of the political dynamics in our political space.
But I am taking that opportunity to learn, to understand and perfect my campaign going forward and making sure that in 2028 I will be seating in Munhumutapa Building (President’s offices) right there in Samora Machel Avenue”
What challenges might she have to face?
Well, for starters, less than 40 made it the National Assembly through direct voting. Of the ones that are there, it would seem that they had to depend on the Proportional Representation Clause to get to that position.
Will Masarira beat the odds and become the first female President in 2028?
