The Youth League of the ruling ZANU PF has pledged to defend “the revolution” in the upcoming by-elections scheduled for the 26th of March.
The Youth League’s executive also endorsed the candidature of President Emmerson Mnangagwa for the 2023 presidential elections. Said Yeukai Simbanegavi, the league’s spokesperson:
In the upcoming by-elections, we believe in protecting and defending the revolution. We will support our leader President Mnangagwa.
The league said it is strategising and mobilising party structures to deliver victory for the party in the upcoming by-elections and ultimately 2023 harmonised elections.
They also said they will embark on a process to inculcate party values to the youth by working with the Chitepo School of Ideology.
Meanwhile, the opposition is aiming at dislodging the ruling party that has been in power since 1980 when Zimbabwe got independence from the United Kingdom.
The opposition accuses the ruling ZANU PF of running down the country’s economy through bad governance.
