‘Adopt Gambian, Kenyan style of resistance against Zanu PF’

PEOPLE’s Democratic Party leader, Tendai Biti has challenged fellow opposition leaders to adopt the Gambian and Kenyan style of resistance against the Zanu PF regime and demand media and electoral reforms ahead of next year’s general elections.

Speaking at a public dialogue organised by Southern Africa Political and Economic Series (Sapes) Trust in Harare last Thursday, Biti said it was fool-hardy for opposition parties to expect Zanu PF to voluntarily reform itself out of power.

“We need to do smart politics, uniting the Gambian style of December 2016 or the Kenyan way of 2002, just to confront the dictator and maybe resort to our different agendas after the military regime has been replaced by a people-centred and transformation-oriented leadership,” he said.
