Nelson Chamisa, the former head of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), has unveiled his plans for the future following his departure from the party, dispelling speculations about forming a new political party and instead signaling a transition towards post-party politics.
Rumors had been swirling around Chamisa's next steps, with many anticipating the creation of a new political party or his leadership of the Democratic Alternative in Zimbabwe (DAZ).
However, reliable sources have revealed that Chamisa is moving away from the conventional political party model, aiming to delve into the realm of post-party politics, focusing on establishing a social or political movement that places the interests of citizens at the forefront and operates differently from traditional parties.
In an interview with The NewsHawks, Chamisa expressed his desire for a fresh approach to politics, emphasizing the need for intentional, citizen-centered politics in the current abnormal situation in Zimbabwe.
