President Adv. Nelson Chamisa and the party leadership today hosted a workshop for 468 aspiring parliamentary candidates where he preached the gospel of unity and togetherness, stressing that the forthcoming election had nothing to do with their individual interests but with the interests of the people of Zimbabwe.
President Chamisa, who was accompanied by members of the party’s leadership, stressed that the candidate selection process will respect the women’s quota and the youth quota in line with the party’s resolutions and the party’s ideology of social democracy.
Addressing the workshop, which lasted for seven hours, the MDC Alliance Presidential candidate said the party will also cater for people living with disabilities in its candidate selection process, saying the internal electoral process should be inclusive of everyone with the will to serve.
He said the party will carefully look into the aptitude of its councilors, saying those engaged in corruption, vote buying, hate language and other misdemeanours will be disqualified.
The people’s president took time to walk the candidates through the five pillars of the party’s policy programme when it wins the next election. He gave minute details of the party’s policy programme in addressing the governance culture, the economy, social services, infrastructure rehabilitation and international relations.
