"Forget GNU, get ready for 2018 elections": Charamba tells Opposition
Presidential spokesperson and Information, Media and Broadcasting Services permanent secretary, Mr George Charamba has revealed that President Emmerson Mnangagwa is not considering a Government of National Unity (GNU). Charamba advised opposition parties to prepare for the 2018 elections instead.
Charamba said that a GNU is not feasible under the time frame considering that elections should be held by August 21, 2018. Said Charamba:
There has been a lot of speculation on whether or not there will be a Government of National Unity. If you look at the schedule for elections we are about plus or minus six months before they are held and certainly it would not make sense to talk about GNU for those remaining months. Parties must ready themselves for elections, which will take place as per our schedule. The President is aware of expressions of readiness to work with him and his party in the context of Government but there is this overbearing time factor which forbids any such considerations.
