War Veterans Urge MDC To Elect Mature Leader During Congress

In an interview with NewZimbabwe.com, War Veterans spokesperson Douglas Mahiya said the MDC should elect a mature leader during its elective congress in May.

Mahiya said war veterans are tired of an opposition leader who opposes Zanu-PF for the sake of opposing. Said Mahiya:

MDC supporters must choose a person who they feel is mature, with political aptness who will be able to take their political party forward. That person must be someone who knows the values of being in opposition, political consciousness of the party; not a leader who just opposes for the sake of opposing. A leader who cannot oppose the ruling party’s good policies for the sake of opposing, but positive criticism. We are tired of an opposition leader who even blames the ruling party for a cloudy day because it was supposed to be sunny. As war veterans, we went to war for everyone to enjoy the freedom to choose who they want to lead them and we will not give the opposition a name to choose. But this is their chance to choose a mature person who will benefit both their party and the country.
