Tamborinyoka added that the party is confident in Tsvangirai as a 2018 presidential candidate, as he seek direction from the ordinary citizens.
“President Tsvangirai, whom the party has given the responsibility of leading this process of working with other political parties ahead of 2018, believes in the mass line and that every party action on this matter must be guided by the views and the direct input from the ordinary people.
“The party through the national council, the supreme decision-making body between Congresses, has already adopted the principles for alliance building. The President’s interactive programmes are meant to further enrich the alliance building process so that the leadership proceeds and is informed by the people’s views and input,” reads part of the statement.
He also added that Tsvangirai values people’s participation and input on all important matters, urging Zimbabweans to also write in or send in their views to the party through various social media platforms.
