Zanu PF will prefer Khupe a weaker candidate than Mwonzora

With Zanu PF, it’s not about individuals, but it’s about their interests.

Their interests are attached to their future only. Zanu PF may use you today, and easily dump you tommorrow. For now Mwonzora was used in MDC wars, and it’s time to discard him. Mwonzora being the architect of the supreme Court judgement which led to massive parliamentary recalls, one may be tempted to think that Zanu PF will still back him. For now the game is in Mnangagwa’s hands, though we have two more Zanu PF factions surfacing, with Chiwenga as the main arch-rivarly. So it’s not about Mwonzora or Khupe factor, but it’s all about Zanu PF politics and their future interests. This is where the mistake goes, it’s not about Simboti or mama Khupe, but it’s about survival of Zanu PF.

NB : Don’t be surprised to see Mwonzora being arrested or barred from entering Harvest House, yet he is the one who was holding the Supreme Court Judgement document.
1. Two Zanu PF factions at stake in the MDC T wrangles
2. I guess you know what it means when I say two factions, probably Khupe is backed by one faction and Mwonzora is backed by the other

3. Financial interests. Two protagonists
4. Zanu PF either is not comfortable with Mwonzora, after realizing his popularity may grow slowly which may cause problems in the future
5. Intelligence is split into two parts either the Mnangagwa or Chiwenga faction

6. Don’t forget the role of MID that is the military factional interests
7. Preferably they may want a weak candidate which pursues their interest

8. Long awaiting arms of law on Douglas Togaraseyi Mwonzora over abuse of funds, and the chaotic conduct of the elective congress
9. Khupe will prevail after this chaotic chapter
10. Both Mwonzora and Khupe are being used by Zanu PF but in different factional lines.

Both are advancing the agenda of the system which may prefer a weaker candidate for future contests
In summary
Zanu PF may not be comfortable with Mwonzora considering his hardline stance, he is a schemer, they prefer someone who bend or compromise. I don’t see Mwonzora succeeding.
