Online writer

A TOTAL of 4 396 party delegates are attending the Zanu PF Annual National People’s Conference, according to Zanu PF Secretary General Dr Obert Mpofu.

This year’s conference has a lower number of delegates compared to previous years, as the party believes leaner delegations are the international gold standard at such occasions.

By having leaner delegations, Zanu PF believes that this will allow for more focused deliberations.

Article 6 Section 33 of the Zanu PF Constitution stipulates the composition of the conference. This includes members of the Central Committee; members of the Council of Elders; members of the National Consultative Assembly; members of the National Council of the Women’s League; members of the National Council of the Youth League; members of the Council of the War Veterans, Ex-Political Prisoners, Detainees and Restrictees League. Also, members of the Provincial Coordinating Committees, District Coordinating Committees, as shall be determined by the Central Committee from time to time; as well as such members of the District Executive Committees, as shall be determined by the Central Committee from time to time.

In addition to the party delegates, there are international delegates who are attending the conference.

These include members of sister political parties from the SADC region, foreign diplomats attached to Zimbabwe, members of our Diaspora districts and affiliate organisations.

There are also invited guests, including Government officials, state enterprises, private companies, Non-Governmental Organisations and other individuals who have been invited in their private capacity.
