1] Mr President, @nelsonchamisa, I am quite excited by the @mdczimbabwe #1millionVoters campaign for 2023.
With proper planning & execution, this MDC-A Youth Assembly led campaign gives the Democratic Movement an opportunity to win an election that can't be won. [cc @AmChambi]

2] Here's how I think this election that otherwise can't be won, can actually be won.
Beyond the next elections, I particularly think this noble campaign should look at consenting the citizen, & creating countrywide structures that are ready to #Stand4Change.

3] With coordination, a structurally strong #DemocraticMovement can organize & respond decisively, against illegal actions & laws that actually promote electoral malpractices.
A structurally strong MDC could have organized & responded politically, to the Khupe shenanigans.

4] A structurally strong #DemocraticMovement can equally campaign & eat into ZanuPF's support
It's easy to rig the elections if ZanuPF can still get a high number of genuine voters
the more they loose electoral appeal & support, the more it becomes difficult to rig an election.

5] A structurally strong #DemocraticMovement can also respond decisively, when fake results are announced
In 2018, the movement was pretty much left in sixes & sevens.
The MDC-A won without strong structures.
Those voters outside its structures simply retreated.
this is key!

6] Put differently, the current campaign(s) should focus on action before, during, & post "elections".
Focusing on one, is self-serving.
The strategy driving these campaigns should be founded on galvanizing support for decisive political response, whenever it becomes necessary.

7] Saying "elections can't be won in Zimbabwe" (whereas true), isn't a solution to anything.
Rather, it should motivate the next course of action.
If they can't be won, why is that so?
What can be done to change it?
This is why building a structurally strong movement is a key.

8] Lastly, though acknowledging that it is the @mdczimbabwe driving this campaign through the deliberate creation of strong party structures, parallel efforts should continue to be made, towards building a broader & inclusive #DemocraticMovement.
All hands on deck.
enkosi!
