Zanu-PF has come up with a draft of rules and regulations for Central Committee elections ahead of the party’s 6th National People’s Congress in December. The rules and regulations would be tabled before the party’s Politburo and Central Committee meetings to be held after President Mugabe’s return from the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York.
In an interview yesterday, Zanu-PF spokesperson Cde Rugare Gumbo, said the regulations needed to be finalised.
“The rules and guidelines are there and they need to be discussed further,” he said.
“What we have is a rough draft that we want to fine tune when the President returns from the UN meeting.
“We are going to have a Politburo meeting followed by the Central Committee to further discuss the rules and the regulations.”
This comes in the wake of vote buying and jostling for Central Committee positions ahead of the Congress.
Zanu-PF has already warned its members to stop electioneering before the regulations were announced as some of them were wasting their time because they would end up falling by the wayside when the regulations were finally announced.
Cde Gumbo said the committees formed to oversee the preparations of the Congress were already sorting out logistical matters.
The committees supervise, co-ordinate and guide the work of sub-committees in preparing for the congress.
He said the information committee met yesterday to discuss several issues including the media material and party regalia.
The eight sub-committees are chaired by Cdes Didymus Mutasa (finance), Webster Shamu (organising), Sydney Sekeramayi (security and accreditation), Rugare Gumbo (information), Nicholas Goche (transport and welfare), Emmerson Mnangagwa (legal and documentation), David Parirenyatwa (health) and Sikhanyiso Ndlovu (entertainment).
