By Own Correspondent| Opposition political parties that participated in the 2018 July harmonised elections met on Friday at State House and formed four thematic committees as the first step towards a national dialogue to the challenges facing the country.

A report by the state media claimed that more than 20 parties attended the meeting, which was initiated by Zanu pf leader and President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Chairman of the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) Justice Selo Nare chaired the meeting.

Said Justice Nare:

“The whole point was to establish thematic committees. The parties came up with four thematic committees. The first one is the committee on transitional framework to design the structure, composition, and operational modality for the dialogue.

The second was the committee on agenda-setting, to come up with the issues to constitute the agenda for the dialogue process.

The third committee will deal with the identification of the convenor and moderator of the dialogue. The fourth committee is the implementation and evaluation committee to assess the extent to which the dialogue framework is serving its purpose and recommend necessary remedial measures. That was the major thing of the day.”-StateMedia
