Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>OPPOSITION Democratic Official Party (DOP) leader, Harry Peter Wilson, says a government of national unity (GNU) is the only solution to address the problems that the country is currently facing.<\/p>\n

Wilson is one of the eleven presidential candidates that filed their nomination papers this week.<\/p>\n

He is also the only presidential candidate from Matabeleland.<\/p>\n

“A GNU is very possible,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have done it before and it has worked for us that is why we are saying whoever wins the election should consider it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only solution to get Zimbabwe where it was is to bring everybody back to the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe enjoyed relative stability between 2009 and 2023 when there was a GNU between Zanu PF and the opposition.<\/p>\n

The GNU followed the disputed 2008 presidential election that saw the late MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai boycotting the run-off polls because of widespread violence against his supporters.<\/p>\n

Wilson said: “Zanu PF has been in government for 40 years but they have not achieved what we want as Zimbabweans.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are hungry, people need to move forward and they need a life where they can have normal day to day situations, and only a GNU can restore hope and better the lives of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exiled minister Saviour Kasukuwere told South African media on Friday that he was also pushing for a GNU.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to bring a broad base of people and form a government of national unity- bring skilled people who can make a difference to our country,\u201d Kasukuwere said.<\/p>\n
