MDC-T now targeting traditional leaders aligned to Zanu-PF

The opposition MDC-T  has launched a new campaign strategy which targets traditional leaders such as chiefs, kraal heads and headmen as the party prepares for next year’s harmonised elections. Most of these leaders are aligned to Zanu-PF and are often accused of using their influence to ensure that Zanu-PF wins.  MDC-T spokesperson, Obert Gutu, said:

The MDC has rolled out a ward-based campaign strategy in which all members of the party structures, including senior leaders, are embarking on a retail politics style of campaign, in which we are meeting with opinion leaders and ordinary people at grassroots level, explaining to them our party policies and programmes.

Of course, traditional leaders are key opinion leaders in rural areas and naturally, we continue to interface with them.

For strategic reasons, we will not furnish the media with any further details of our interface with traditional leaders because we don’t want these individuals to be victimised by the Zanu PF regime.

Suffice to state that our meetings with traditional leaders have so far been a resounding success. The majority of the people, who live in rural areas, are simply fed up with Zanu PF.
