Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The opposition CCC does not intend to hold an elective congress before the 2023 harmonised elections, a party official has said.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with NewZimbabwe.com on Friday, CCC interim deputy spokesperson Gift Siziba said the party will have a people\u2019s convention, and not a congress. Said Siziba:<\/p>\n

Our roadmap and path to power have no congress in it, not just in form and character or practice.<\/p>\n

We are not holding a congress, the nomenclature of a congress does not exist (in our vocabulary).<\/p>\n

What if we are going to have a national people\u2019s convention or an assembly, we are not going to have a congress that belongs to ZANU PF, MDC Alliance and other political formations. It does not exist in the CCC.<\/p>\n

It is the headquarters of ZANU PF and the CIO who in their imagination think we are going to have a congress so they deploy their people.<\/p>\n

We know there are people planning, there is no vacancy in the alternative, and there is no programme for political power.<\/p>\n

We have no political programme around what people might term a congress.<\/p>\n

Political commentator Pedzisai Ruhanya argued that CCC should focus on building party structures from the grassroots level before holding an elective congress. Ruhanya said:<\/p>\n

While CCC is solidifying its branches in communities, and rural hinterlands, the call for CCC congress is fundamentally an elite matter not a party grassroots-based matter.<\/p>\n

[Nelson Chamisa\u2019s] approach to have a process, structural driven party is the right way before congress.<\/p>\n

The elites in CCC want congress now before CCC organised its structures, branches, and cells across Zimbabwe. First things first and [Nelson Chamisa] trajectory is correct.<\/p>\n

CCC must have thorough grassroots networks, and structures that are functional and then call for that congress\/convention.<\/p>\n

CCC has been under pressure to hold a congress to elect substantive leadership. It is currently led by interim executives who were transplanted from the MDC Alliance.<\/p>\n
