ZANU-PF spokesperson Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa claims that Zibabweans are overwhelmingly in support of CAB 3.
He made the remarks during a media briefing held Monday.
“We are not going to interfere with the other processes, as I told you; they belong to the Judiciary, they belong to Parliament, which is going to deliberate (on the Bill and) of course the Executive,” said Cde Mutsvangwa.
“But what we are just happy about is that our population has strong support for the President.”
Cde Mutsvangwa also acknowledged that internal ambition within the party is natural, particularly with political timelines stretching towards 2028, but said such ambition must be tempered by current political realities.
“There are many who may have ambition in the party, there may be some who would have looked at 2028 as an opportunity to exercise ambition.
“It’s legitimate to have ambition in the party. The mere fact that you are a politician assumes you have ambition.
“So, the President cannot disparage ambition within the party,” he said.
However, Cde Mutsvangwa said the present balance of political support within the party leaves no room for contestation against the President’s leadership.
“But when things have gone the way they have within the party, about the support of the President, we expect that ambition to respond with humility to the reality of the fact that the President is currently unchallenged in Zanu PF,” he said.
He urged members with political aspirations to prioritise unity and focus on national development rather than internal positioning.
“So mamwe masideshows aya dai achingosiiwa toregera munhu ari kudiwa nevanhu amboenda pamberi nebasa kuti nyika iende pane chimwe chigaro.
“Ambition you can always tuck it under your armpits, ichadzoka, inowana nguva yayo.
“There will always be a chance and maybe you will have a good chance when that time arises,” said Cde Mutsvangwa.
He added that party members should align their ambitions with the Constitution, rules and prevailing political sentiment within Zanu PF, as Parliament prepares to debate CAB3.
