FORMER President Robert Mugabe backed party National Patriotic Front (NPF) has said ex-combatants must not be hoodwinked by the Emmerson Mnangagwa administration into believing it will improve their welfare, NewZimbabwe.com reported.
NPF President Ambrose Mutinhiri, who once served as the country's ambassador to Yugoslavia, in his address said the liberation war fighters must protect their legacy by voting for constitutionalism.
"I am against the manner in which this administration grabbed power from the country's legitimate leader," Mutinhiri said before adding that the liberation war heroes must desist from being used.
"War veterans must not be used by people who are not constitutionally elected," he said.
Mutinhiri said that his party though new is going to have significant parliamentary seats and possibly form the next government after the national plebiscite expected in July. He said NPF has made inroads in the country.
He added that NPF is not only against the military power grab but also respects constitutionalism amongst other issues.
