PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday thousands of ruling party supporters at a Zanu-PF youth convention in Gweru that Zanu-PF was the only democratic party in the country that allowed people to freely choose their candidates without any form of coercion.
Mnangagwa said other political parties imposed candidates, while his party ensured a free and fair selection process.
"Zanu-PF is the only democratic party, which does not impose candidates," he said.
"As the leadership, we do not say this candidate will represent the party, but we allow the people to choose even from cell level those that they want to represent them. This makes Zanu-PF a supreme party."
Mnangagwa said Zanu-PF youth should not lose sleep over the challenge posed by opposition parties.
"As we go to the elections, it is only Zanu-PF," he said.
"What I have done, myself, is to ignore these small political parties because they are nothing. You should do the same and ignore them."
