His call comes ahead of next week's SADC leaders' meeting in Zimbabwe. Chamisa, who says that the situation in Zimbabwe forced him to step away from politics, has called for fresh elections in his country.

"My role is to bring that other piece of Zimbabwe that Mr. Mnangagwa doesn't have. The country is divided in half—in fact, we have the majority. But when we go according to the election that was rigged, we have almost half and half, and that tells you that we have a legitimate voice. We must ensure that we correct that disputed election, we correct the governance deficit that we have, and we address the issues that have bedevilled this country. Zimbabwe has not been in its best place since the 2000s, and we still have those problems. These problems have been before SADC, before the African Union, before the world, and we want these issues to be resolved," Chamisa said.
