By Own Correspondent| Zanu Pf’s Women’s League has endorsed Emmerson Mnangagwa’s candidature for the 2023 presidential poll.

The party’s women chapter described their leader as a champion for women empowerment.

The development comes ahead of the ruling party’s People’s National Annual Conference slated for Matabeleland South Province next week.

The party’s Youth League and the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) have also endorsed President Mnangagwa’s candidature for the 2023 presidential election as has almost every province.

The league’s national assembly members hailed Mnangagwa for allocating 30 percent of Cabinet posts to women, despite only a small number of them managing to make it to Parliament in the July 30 harmonised elections.

Addressing the Women’s League national assembly meeting in Harare yesterday, the league’s secretary for Administration Monica Mutsvangwa announced the decision to endorse Mnangagwa’s candidature, among a host of other resolutions.

Said Mutsvangwa:”We are confident of President Mnangagwa’s hard work and dedication to duty  and we are optimistic that this will turn around the economy and bring an improved standard of living.

Women’s League supports President Mnangagwa and First Secretary of Zanu-PF Cde ED Mnangagwa ’s leadership and therefore endorses him as the sole candidate for the 2023 election.”-StateMedia
