Shyleen Mtandwa | Marcellina Chikasha the President of the African Democratic Party shas said Zimbabweans should have a choice on who governs them.
Responding to questions on ZimEye LIVE BLAST on the establishment of the National Transitional Authority (NTA), Chikasha said, ” as an opposition we realise the need to come together, but how to come together and when to come together, I think that is the sticky point right now. You find that some people are ready and some are not quite ready.”
“I have not taken to the NTA yet. I am not a lawyer, but the constitutionalism in the NTA, I believe that people should have a voice on who governs them. In the NTA it is almost like an imposition of leadership, by saying the current government has failed let’s step in, but is there a crisis, a civil war or complete break down,,,that would justify a sudden change in government.”
Chikasha goes further to question whether Zanu PF will agree to an NTA; ” In 2008 they actually denied a winner access to power. How do they just hand over power to anyone just because we say hand over power to us because things are not working? I have got issues with that.”
“My option would be a coalition of sorts I found those discussions are meaningful and they involve people even at grassroots level of what I am a great advocate of,” said Chikasha.
