ZANU PF’s Midlands province has urged President Mnangagwa to continue in office beyond 2028 to fulfil his vision.
Reading resolutions made at the ZANU PF Midlands province inter-district meeting in Gweru yesterday, the provincial secretary for administration, Cde Edmund Mukaratigwa, said the province had resolved that the President should lead the country until 2030.
“President Mnangagwa always says that the voice of the people is the voice of God. Now, therefore, the Midlands province of ZANU PF has resolved that the appropriate and legal ways and means be sought to enable the extension of His Excellency President Mnangagwa’s term of office as the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe for an additional two years beyond the end of the second term in 2028,” he said.
“This is to allow him to fully and optimally implement his Vision 2030 agenda and all its intended plans and strategies which run concurrently until the year 2030.”
Addressing the same meeting, ZANU PF Midlands provincial chairperson Cde Edson Chiherenge said the additional two years will allow the ZANU PF First Secretary to see through his vision. “As a province, we have resolved to see to it that our visionary leader takes us through to Vision 2030. We are very proud of what the country has achieved ever since he took over the reins of power. As such, we want to continue seeing this development.”
Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Owen Ncube highlighted some of the developments that President Mnangagwa has championed in the province.
“I wish to express Midlands province’s unwavering loyalty, unity of purpose and commitment in supporting the First Secretary of ZANU PF, Head of State and Government, Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, and incoming SADC chairperson, His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Cde Dr E.D. Mnangagwa, to lead the transformative agenda to modernise and industrialise the economy as we gravitate towards the attainment of an upper middle-income economy earlier than 2030.”
ZANU PF National Political Commissar Cde Munyaradzi Machacha said he will convey the message and recommendations made during the meeting to President Mnangagwa.
“I am going to tell the President about your resolution. I am happy with the presentation made by the ministers, which clearly shows how you are progressing by meeting timelines,” he said.
The inter-district meeting also witnessed the party leadership taking stock of the progress made in cell restructuring and verification processes at the grassroots level, a scheme meant to strengthen the party.
