ZANU-PF candidate. Of the 19 constituencies that ZANU-PF won with less than 50% of the vote and the MDC Alliance fielded one candidate there are 11 constituencies that Chamisa received more votes than Mnangagwa in the presidential election by a margin greater than ZANU-PF’s victory in the parliamentary election. This suggests for these 12 constituencies that if there had not been third party candidates for the parliamentary elections then MDC Alliance candidates would have won these constituencies.

For 18 of these constituencies Chamisa received more votes than Mnangagwa in the presidential election. However, for one constituency, Chipinge East constituency in Manicaland, Mnangagwa received more votes than Chamisa in the presidential election by a margin greater than MDC Alliance’s victory in the parliamentary election. This suggests that for this constituency that if there had not been third party candidates for this parliamentary election then the ZANU-PF candidate would have won this constituency. This would have been a net swing of 11 seats to MDC Alliance from ZANU-PF.
