President Tsvangirai to launch "Vote Yes" campaign
Movement
for Democratic Change (MDC)
September
07, 2012
President Tsvangirai
will tomorrow launch the Vote Yes campaign at a colourful event
at the Harare Show Grounds at 10am.
The Yes Vote
campaign will be held under theme; "My Voice is In - My Vote is
Yes".
The campaign
is meant to sensitise, inform, educate and engage the people of
Zimbabwe on the new Constitution. Zimbabweans made contributions
to the draft during
the outreach process, which views were captured in the new Constitution.
The people will
define the destiny of the draft
Constitution during the All Stakeholders' Conference and through
the Referendum, which will lead to the holding of credible, free
and fair elections next year.
The MDC National Standing
Committee members, National Executive officials, ministers, Members
of Parliament, councillors, Harare provincial party structures,
members and supporters will attend the Harare launch, which will
be preceded by a nationwide roll out programme.
The launch comes
at a time when Zanu PF is dithering and trying to stop the Constitution
making process, by bringing a totally new
draft constitution, which disregards the people's views.
The new Constitution
preserves our history, secures the future of the country and its
people including those in Zanu PF. During the outreach campaign,
Zanu PF used operation Chimumumu where only a few selected party
members were allowed to speak. Now the sunset party would like to
take that away from the people by rewriting the draft Constitution
and bringing in new changes totaling 266 alterations.
