Why should we give you the list now? You want us to advertise targets and victims?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are dealing with Zanu PF, and we know how to deal with it. Even if they come, hoping to get information from journalists, we will not give them that information. The only information that we will give them is that we are ready, and we will win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chamisa said a list will only be given to the electoral body on Wednesday adding party supporters were aware of their nominees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe citizens\u2019 movement already has candidates. We have already concluded the process. Candidates are selected at the local level for wards\u2019 representatives, it has already been done. The list we have given you has the final nominees in each constituency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe citizens have already decided on which candidates they prefer. Citizens already know who their candidates are and as leaders, we just facilitate the selection processes. Are you the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission: Why do you want the final list?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThe final list is for various constituencies. You are not the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC). We have given you what you were supposed to get. The final list you have it already as per constituency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not so sure if you want us to announce again. We have had a consensus. Wait for Wednesday. You will see the final list of the candidates. We have given you the report and all the necessary information regarding the journey of candidate selection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we mention names, we are very specific. We have given you names of preferred candidates in each constituency. All that is missing is to say, so and so will be filled at the nomination court. So, if you are given a choice of answers A, B, C, you have to choose the best one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
