'We are tired of sub standard, recycled politicians'

Political commentator Dumisani Nkomo has advised the electorate to reject the legislators who are not performing in the 2018 elections.

The remarks come at a time when the nation gears towards the 2018 elections, which this time will be conducted without the dictator Robert Mugabe taking place for the first time.

"The electorate must reject non performing members of parliament ,non performing councilors and people with no track record of capacity, leadership or potential regardless of political party . Political parties must put their ideas on the table for debate and those with the best ideas must be voted in. This must be done with every potential member of parliament and councilor," Nkomo said.

"They should not just address the masses but the masses must address them by presenting questions on how these aspirants will address pertinent issues faced by the electorate. "

Nkomo also said: "Candidates must not be chosen on the basis on loyalty to political principals but consistency to principles. We are tired of sub standard candidates, recycled politicians and political predators. We the people are hiring people to be MPs through elections. The campaigning period is like an interview process."
