Farai Dziva|The leader of a new political party, the Independence of Zimbabwe African Organisation of People’s Power Pinda Panyanga United Front (IZAOPPOPP UNF), Mr Edson says his party respects the values of the liberation struggle.

The existence of the party was confirmed by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission’s chief elections officer, Utoile Silaigwana who in a letter to acknowledge the party’s existence said:
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) acknowledges receipt of your party profile documents, the contents of which have been noted. Your organisation has been included on ZEC’s stakeholder database and mailing list for notification when appropriate meetings that require your input arise.

The party leader, Mr Edson, quoted by The Herald said he formed the “nationalist and pan-Africanist” party to enhance democracy in the country.

“What we want is a democratic Zimbabwe and we respect the liberation struggle.

Our party will be nationalist and pan-Africanist.

We simply want to use other avenues through a structure like a political party to advocate for the citizens’ interests,” he said.
