By A Correspondent- The Zanu-PF Midlands Provincial Inter-District Conference has endorsed the candidature of President Mnangagwa as the party’s sole candidate for the 2023 presidential elections.

Matabeleland South and Matabeleland North provinces came up with a similar resolution last week.

The resolution, among others, was revealed at the conference held at the Zanu-PF Conference Centre just outside Gweru on Saturday.

The resolutions were read out by Zanu-PF Midlands Provincial Vice Chairman, Robson Nyathi during the conference that was also attended by the party’s National Commissar Victor Matemadanda.

Nyathi said the resolutions –coming from the main wing, women’s wing, youths and war veterans – were a clear indication of the fact that the province was fully behind the leadership of President Mnangagwa. 

“As the Midlands province, all the wings of the party resolved to endorse President Emmerson Mnangagwa as the sole presidential candidate for 2023 elections in line with the dictates of the party’s constitution. This is one of the major resolutions passed during the one-day Provincial Inter-district Conference which had all eight districts being represented. So, we are a united front as Midlands province,” he said.

Matemadanda said war veterans were no longer an affiliate of the ruling party but a wing as they had been factored into the existing structures.

“May I point out that war veterans are no longer considered as an affiliate of the party. They are part of the party structures and this should be noted. We are coming through with new policies and direction which saw it fit to include them in the party structures from now going forward,” he said.
