HARARE-The 2018 MDC Alliance Presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa has given up on the party name fight as he launches Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)

Briefing the media in Harare today, Chamisa said Zimbabweans are charting a new course.

The 43year-year-old and cleric abandoned the MDC colors and logo that were associated with the opposition since its formation in 1999

He said the citizen is central to their new thrust. “We have left everything. Gold yellow

“We are number one in the country. Champions are fought by mediocrity. You can’t stop us. Number one. It’s a done deal. The citizen is back at the center. One man one vote … It’s not going to be easy … Citizens turn the turbines of a nation. Every Zimbabwean must be organized for change.

“A new great Zimbabwe is being born. We are here, we are having a new entity and new organizations. We have left the past. We represent new hope, joy, freedom. We represent the ideas, solutions …mosaics beauty of our Zimbabweans. A vision that spells glory to everyone.

“We have lost everything except ourselves. If you want MDC Alliance, take it. We cannot be sold. Our conviction to bring change to Zimbabwe is unshaken, it’s indomitable. We keep moving forward. The people have told us to leave the dirty past. We have listened to the people. Key to deliver the platform of transformation. Those other people came after our name”

Chamisa lost the MDC name to Thokozani Khuphe in 2019 after the Supreme Court had declared her as the legitimate leader.

 Khuphe, later on, lost the party to Douglas Mwonzora.

Chamisa was thrown out of the party headquarters

The popularity of the Newly formed Party will be put to test in the upcoming elections set up for the 26th of March 2022
