The MDC is a social democratic party with people driven-centred values
such as transparency, equality, fairness and accountability.
As a result in all cities, towns and rural councils that our
councillors, mayors or chairpersons have been sworn in, the MDC
councillors have started implementing their duties diligently.
The MDC councillors won in 44 local authorities from 89 national
contested councils, while Zanu PF won in 30 councils and the Arthur
Mutambara led formation in 15 councils.
This makes the MDC the party with the highest number of representation
in council across the country.
It also has a total of 800 councillors from the 1958 contested council
seats.
During these first 100 days in office, the MDC and the electorate will
monitor how these councillors are performing their duties.
The MDC-led councils have proved that the MDC is the party of choice
and at local level these councils will stamped out corruption and
improve efficiency and quality services both in rural and urban areas.
Some of the areas that councillors have already kick off the
programmes are Harare, Masvingo, Bulawayo, Mutare, Bindura and Chegutu
while full operational MDC-led councils are expected to begin their
duties as soon as they are sworn in.
Through the MDC’s majority national council representation, the party
also has in place a social and economic programme, which places
importance on providing people with investment opportunities, quality
and affordable health care and education among other issues.
The councillors will also hold regular meetings with the people to
find out ways on how best to improve the people’s livelihoods.
