NCA
to conduct elections at the MDC Congress
National Constitutional Assembly (NCA)
April
27, 2011
The National
Constitutional Assembly (NCA) has been officially invited by the
Movement for Democratic Change led by Morgan Tsvangirai to conduct
elections at their congress pencilled for Bulawayo from the 28-30
April 2011.
The relationship
between the NCA and the MDC dates back to the National Working People's
Convention in 1999 during the formation of the party. The NCA together
with the Zimbabwe
Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) and Zimbabwe
National Students Union (ZINASU) were key allies during the
formation of the party. In essence the alliance played an organic
role in giving birth to the labour movement.
This is not the first
time that the NCA has been requested to conduct the elections for
the party. It conducted the MDC 2006 elections at the congress held
at the City Sports Centre.
The NCA National Chairperson
Professor Lovemore Madhuku will lead the delegation which will comprise
of National Spokesperson Madock Chivasa, National Youth Chairperson
Alois Dzvairo, Gender Chairperson Dorothy Bhebhe amongst others.
We hope the MDC will
emerge a stronger, united and committed movement in the quest for
the full democratization of Zimbabwe after this congress. It is
our firm belief that violence, factionalism and intolerance will
weaken the party ahead of the national plebiscite.
The party should guard
against counter revolutionary forces and reactionary elements who
are working nicodemously to disturb the smooth running of congress.
We wish to assure the
delegates that we are going to conduct a free and fair election
to ensure that their candidates for the day win. As a neutral organisation
we will not be biased towards any candidates and the choice of the
delegates supporters will prevail.
The NCA wish the MDC
a successful and peaceful congress and remains hopeful that the
party will come up with a sound policy direction to guide its operations
for the next five (5) years.
