Press Release.

The National People’s Party would like to dismiss rumours doing rounds that the party’s top six positions have been filled before our inaugural National People’s Elective Convention early April 2017. The party is currently taking submissions from aspiring candidates to contest for the positions of President, two Vice Presidents, National Chairperson, Secretary General and Treasurer General.

The deadline for the submission of papers is Monday 13 March 2017 and members interested in contesting for the above posts are called to submit their applications before the deadline date. Members who would have successfully lodged their papers will be given between 13 and 25 March 2017 to campaign throughout the country.

The provinces will now hold their Provincial Elective Conventions on 25 March 2017 to allow ample time for aspiring candidates to campaign. The proceedings will be guided by our constitution through the National Elections Directorate.

Party members should dismiss recent online media reports that positions have already been filled before our democratic process of leadership choice has been allowed to give us leaders from the people, chosen by the people.

The National People’s Party is a democratic institution which believes in the sanctity of electoral democracy both intra and inter-party. As such, reports that there are preferred candidates for any position who have been shielded away from direct election from the people are mischievous, untrue and bent on discrediting the democratic process that we have put in place to elect our leaders.

Every NPP member vying for the top 6 positions should follow due process and know that the responsibility to elect leadership lies with the people not some appointing figure somewhere.
We believe our elections will be democratic and peaceful and would demonstrate that we are builders of Zimbabwe in peace.

We are the future, we have the solution.
Dr Joice Mujuru
President National People’s Party
