ZANU-PF has endorsed agreements made by principals on sticky issues that had stymied the constitution-making process. The revolutionary party says it will support the draft constitution during the referendum to be held on a date yet to be announced.
The endorsement was made following a Politburo meeting held at the party's headquarters in Harare yesterday.
"We looked at the agreement reached by principals on the constitution and we fully endorse the agreement," Zanu-PF Secretary for Information and Publicity Cde Rugare Gumbo said yesterday.
"We are going to do everything in our power to ensure that we go to the referendum and the general election."
The principals resolved the outstanding issues that had stalled the completion of the constitution last year.
The amendments have since been incorporated into the draft constitution.
This came about after Zanu-PF raised a number of concerns with the initial draft that Copac produced amid indications that they had deviated from the people's views gathered during the outreach programme.
Some of the concerns have since been addressed in the agreed draft.
