He is the preeminent opposition leader in Zimbabwe, having led the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) before quitting the party in January 2024 citing infiltration by the ruling ZANU-PF. He returned to the political arena in late 2025 with a new movement aimed at challenging President Mnangagwa's extended tenure. A charismatic orator and former student leader, Chamisa served as the youngest cabinet minister in the 2009-2013 Government of National Unity.
