CANDIDATES nominated to fight for different national executive and nationals standing committee posts when the Movement for Democratic Change holds its elective congress in May will next week start campaigns together during provincial caucuses, the Daily News reported.
MDC spokesperson Jacob Mafume told the publication that the door-to-door campaign will have been officially opened.
"After the national council meeting, candidates will have either accepted or declined the nominations they got after being validated by the national council marking the beginning of official campaigns," Mafume said.
He also announced that the MDC will administer town hall gatherings and council debates where hopeful candidates meet the congress delegates and sell their ideas.
The campaign season, according to the MDC, will allow party members to make informed choices ahead of the crucial Congress which could either make or break the Nelson Chamisa's party, 20 years on from its formation.
Chamisa is set to be elected uncontested after getting 12 out of 12 nominations from provinces that have completed their processes. The province of South Africa is still to finalise its nominations.
