HARARE Senior Zanu (PF) politburo member Didymus Mutasa has admitted there are worries within the party about the state of its structures, which have apparently disintegrated, especially in rural areas.
The presidential affairs minister said Zanu won the first elections in 1980 without recognised party structures throughout the country. People are worried about structures in Zanu (PF) having fallen apart. People are saying it means we are not ready (for elections) but they forget that when we came from the bush in 1980 we had no structures, but we still won the elections, said Mutasa.
It all depends on what you have been doing for the people. It does not mean that if you campaign you are automatically going to win. It does not work like that. If you are Zanu (PF), there is no point in persuading you to vote for Zanu (PF) because you will always vote for it. The politburo member also acknowledged that Mugabes pronouncements that elections would be held next year were never discussed in the highest decision-making body of their party.
We have not met as a party to discuss the issue of elections next year. But obviously if the president says we are going for elections next year, so be it. Personally I am ready and will win any time, Mutasa added.
