Mzembi's UNWTO bid under threat from Seychelles

Tourism and Hospitality Industry Minister Walter Mzembi’s bid for Secretary General of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation is facing a fresh threat from Seychelles. Despite the African Union backing  Zimbabwe, Seychelles Minister for Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports and Marine, Alain St Ange has also joined the race. Having two candidates from Africa has the potential to split the votes, resulting in both candidates losing.

In an interview with the Herald Mzembi said:

There is absolutely no rationale.  So, anyone who wants to get past us as Africa will try and split Africa’s bloc votes of 10. This is essentially what they are doing in this instance. This approach is a zero-sum game for Africans because whoever emerges should never hope to win, we will both lose.

Mzembi has promised to lobby the AU so that there can be a single target representing Africa.  Mzembi said:

We are fighting to win and I am hoping that the African Union can show its teeth in the matter and restrain Member States.

I will not allow my candidature to just pass like previous candidatures that are disturbed by Africans amongst themselves without the benefit of either a pre-emptive process or a post mortem.
