03 Nov 2015 at 19:17hrs | Views
Following the NPC meeting of the 1-2.08.2015 that decided the date of the national congress (18 to 21.12.2015) and the recent official announcement by our party's Information head Cde Mjobisa Noko, we have scheduled a provincial general conference for the 05.12.2015.
The conference will finalise our provincial preparation for congress through discussing the resolutions brought from local structures, select provincial delegates and nominate candidates for senior party positions including that of President to be sent to congress.
It is indeed democracy in practice, in a manner never seen in our country. The process is already underway having started with an internal document sent by the leadership containing the full details on how the whole preparation should be conducted. The Planning and Administrative Teams are already in place doing a great job. The generality of membership of the party and local structures are heavily involved in the whole process, shaping the future of the Party through discussions, debates, Constitutional and Policy proposals to the National Congress.
The membership will not only elect the leadership of the party including the president but will have equal status with the right to be nominated for any senior position in the party including that of President. You will understand that with many organisations, the position of President is a no go area even at Congress and trespassers even risk expulsion from their organisations, not in ZAPU, we lead the way with exemplary democratic practices.
The deadline for nominations by local structures is 15.11.2015. After this date the results from local structures will be compiled in preparation for presentation and debate at the provincial meeting.
The process will reflect the freedom and people's power that have remained the two foundation stones upon which our organisation was founded and built.
It is all systems go and all our leadership structures have been thoroughly briefed of the way we are running the preparatory work so that they are able to assist in their local structures.
Various stakeholders have been invited and many have confirmed their attendance, we are extending this invite to everyone who feels the need for change in Zimbabwe to come and share zeal with the People's Party on the 5th December 2015.
