Some political parties that spurned the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) after its launch in February this year are now approaching authorities seeking to get involved, President Mnangagwa has said.

Speaking at a meeting yesterday to chart the way forward following the successful launch of the dialogue, Mnangagwa said he referred such political parties to the conveners.

The process is being co-convened by National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) chairperson Retired Justice Selo Nare and Zimbabwe Gender Commission (ZGC) chairperson Mrs Margaret Sangarwe-Mukahanana.

“I have received inquiries from some political parties outside the dialogue, who were once here and left, who want to come back, but I have told them to go to the conveners,” said the President, without naming the concerned parties.

Out of 23 political parties that took part in the July 31 harmonised elections last year, 21 joined the political dialogue aimed at finding consensus on solving problems affecting the country and address various socio-economic and political issues.State media
