Jonathan Moyo, the former government’s chief spin doctor once praised the ruling party led by President Mugabe and often labeled opposition groups as traitors of Zimbabwe. In a change of events Mugabe fired Moyo and accused him of coup plotting, as representing his political aspirations in Zimbabwe. In an interview at his home, Moyo refused to comment on the accusations of coup-plotting, but he described the party he served for five years as aging, undemocratic, and likely to fall apart in the coming years. Nonetheless, a Jonathan Moyo effort to return to power through Thursday’s balloting has called into question his credentials by the ruling party and opposition members. If Moyo wins here, it would help position him for the future, however he would have to overcome his former party propensity for influencing the election process.
