ZANU-PF Secretary for Economic Affairs Dr Obert Mpofu yesterday launched the party's election campaign for Matabeleland North at Malube Business Centre in Binga.
Dr Mpofu castigated party leaders who are selfish and greedy, saying they were frustrating party supporters resulting in the party losing elections in the region.
Dr Mpofu, the party's candidate for Umguza, who has taken upon himself to deliver the election victory for Zanu-PF in Matabeleland by assisting his colleagues in different constituencies, urged the people of Binga to vote for Zanu-PF.
"Some of our leaders are greedy and selfish. For instance President Mugabe donates agricultural inputs and maize to the people but you find the donation not reaching people because some leaders divert the consignments. This tendency is killing our party. We do not want such calibre of leaders because they are destroying our party," said Dr Mpofu.
He challenged the electorate to vote for Zanu-PF, saying it was a tried and tested party that brought independence to the country and had had people at heart.
Dr Mpofu urged party members to unite ahead of the harmonised elections to defeat the MDC formations.
He also urged losing candidates in the primaries to rally behind those who won so that the party wins in the elections.
He said MDC-T was afraid of defeat, which was why it has been calling for the postponement of the elections.
"MDC-T claims to be a democratic party but right now they are clamouring for the polls to be postponed because they fear losing. As Zanu-PF we are ready and we will win," he said amid wild cheers from hundreds of supporters.
