In a familiar pattern observed worldwide, politicians often adopt a down-to-earth persona and resort to any means necessary to secure votes during election campaigns. However, once in power, they quickly revert to their old ways, distancing themselves from the very electorate that put them there. This cycle has once again come under scrutiny, prompting discussions about the integrity and accountability of political leaders.
Twitter users have expressed their disillusionment with this trend, highlighting the case of President Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe. Critics argue that Mnangagwa, despite promising change and progress, has failed to deliver on his commitments. They accuse him of being untrustworthy, corrupt, and incompetent, drawing attention to his controversial involvement in the Gukurahundi genocide.
The public’s frustration stems from the perceived lack of genuine engagement and lasting connection between politicians and voters. Many feel that once the votes are secured and power is attained, politicians prioritize their own agendas, often leaving the electorate feeling forgotten and neglected.
As citizens, it is important to hold politicians accountable and demand transparency and continued commitment to serving the public interest. Breaking the cycle of election promises requires a collective effort to foster a culture of integrity, responsibility, and true representation in the political sphere.

Politicians grovel before voters in search of votes, only for them to immediately forget the electorate as soon as they get power. @edmnangagwa is an unlectable, corrupt and incompetent Gukurahundist Genocidaire from who every right thinking African must stay away. https://t.co/97daDGIx46
