Chamisa urged to provide direction amidst silence

Despite the active campaigning efforts of his trusted lieutenants, such as Amos Chibaya and Gift Ostallos Siziba, there has been a notable absence of clarity from Chamisa himself, leaving his supporters in uncertainty.

The Chamisa’s deafening silence has prompted speculation and anxiety among his loyalists, who eagerly await his next steps in the political arena.

While Chibaya and Siziba have been tirelessly canvassing support for Chamisa's yet-to-be-named and launched party, the lack of direct communication from Chamisa has left many questioning the direction of his political journey.

Political analyst, Calvin Chitsunge, weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Chamisa may be employing Machiavellian politics to gauge his support base.

However, Chitsunge expressed concern over the potential consequences of Chamisa's prolonged silence, stating, "This delay is not good as it will cause his loyalists to start fighting among themselves for his attention."

Echoing these sentiments, Edith Mushore emphasised the importance of Chamisa providing clear political guidance to his supporters.

Mushore warned that the delay in announcing his next political move could lead to frustration and disillusionment among his loyalists, potentially driving them towards other political formations.

"He (Chamisa) should come clean on his political options instead of keeping his supporters and loyalists in suspense. Some of his loyalists are yet to move on politically, waiting to hear from him, and his delay in announcing his next political step might end up agitating his loyalists, who might consider dumping him for good for other political formations," Mushore asserted.

Adding to the discourse, political commentator Kudzai Mutisi, known for his insights on social media, emphasised the uncertainty surrounding Chamisa's future in politics.

Mutisi cautioned against investing too much time and energy into Chamisa's political trajectory, suggesting that he may not return to the political arena.

"The average Chamisa supporter on social media isn’t even aware of what’s happening with Chamisa. He didn’t just resign from CCC; he was forced to resign, and the day you know what was used to arm-twist him into resigning, you will regret wasting your time on him. He may never come back to politics again," Mutisi remarked on his X handle.

As Chamisa's supporters and observers await clarity on his next political move, the uncertainty surrounding his future continues to spark debate and speculation within Zimbabwean political circles.
