Chamisa dismisses CCC as ‘kids’ play’, teases new political movement
Former Zimbabwean opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has dismissed his former party, the CCC, as ineffective and announced plans to launch a new political movement. He remains a vocal critic of the current government and its constitutional amendments.
Why it matters
Chamisa's move signals continued instability and fragmentation within the Zimbabwean opposition, which impacts the country's political landscape ahead of future elections.
FORMER opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has described his erstwhile party, the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), as “kids’ play”, as he vowed to launch a new political outfit to challenge ZANU PF.
Chamisa has been without a political party since leaving the CCC in 2024 over claims that the opposition outfit had been infiltrated by ZANU PF agents.
At the beginning of this year, Chamisa promised to launch a new political movement, but the project has yet to materialise.
He has, however, continued to tease the political project, which he says will challenge ZANU PF and revive the opposition.
Posting on X, Chamisa appeared to distance his proposed movement from the CCC, which he led until his resignation.
