Opposition All People’s Party (APP) is mulling over the idea of naming former Warriors captain Peter Ndlovu its presidential candidate in Zimbabwe’s 2023 presidential elections.
APP interim leader Sabastian Mubvumbi told VOA Zimbabwe Service that all party supporters want Ndlovu to lead the party and the former Coventry City striker has also warmed up to the idea.
Mubvumbi said as a party, they held several discussions about finding a candidate that would attract people’s attention. He said:
That’s when Peter Ndlovu’s name was mentioned and everyone was happy about him.
I held meetings with him in South Africa. I used to fly to South Africa and we talked about this and he was agreeable.
He said ‘go and make the right arrangements and when the right time comes I’m at your disposal’.
This is why you see that I’m the current acting president but the people’s choice is Peter Ndlovu.
This seat is reserved for Peter. I don’t have any reservations about that.
Peter is still gainfully employed in South Africa. He is employed by one of the country’s billionaires.
If this thing (party) takes shape and he is willing to come back home, he will take the top party position and lead us in the 2023 general elections.
… … Come 2023, Peter’s name will be on the ballot box. I’m very certain about that. We have done our homework.
Meanwhile, VOA Zimbabwe Service said efforts to contact Ndlovu were fruitless as he did not respond to questions sent to him.
Hope its not a vote splitting gimmik
In zimbabwe currently Noone can unseat zanu pf, only a united front of all political parties. If anyone think forming new political parties yu ar all doomed. You wl stay in exile n remain slaves. Zanu is there to rule until madongi amera nyanga. Izobusa Amadonki aze a mile impondo,,, ds is wat muzenda said.mark my word. Form one front against zanu n encourage people to register to vote. Peter can’t turn anything to move in ds political arena, not now it wl be a slow n for a couple of yrs to convince the electrolate to trust him. No Ndebele can rule zimbabwe in d next couple of yrs…. You saw in d 80s. First democratic elections, zapu lost coz Zimbabweans voted along tribal lines. If we ar all serious about the political transformation, all opposition parties come, together form one front. We need more opposition MPs in parliament than than presidential seat. So Dat we change d constitution first n foremost.
Peter Ndlovu sichilaba is not from ndebele tribe but from Tonga people., And he can be the right candidate for presidential candidate, take not on most seating Presidents around world thier origin .
A sick joke from the word Go..!
