Pressure group to engage political parties on biometric voting system

LOCAL youth pressure group, Leave No Youths Behind (LNYB) says it is planning to engage all political parties in its campaign to publicise the newly-introduced biometric voting system and the new Constitution ahead of the 2018 general elections.

LNYB director, Misheck Gondo said youths make up two thirds of Zimbabwe’s population, but over the past years they have not been actively involved in the country’s body politic.

“Different methodologies will be used to capacitate youths with knowledge through peer to peer education, digital communication, incentives, inclusion of all political parties and creation of public forums,” he said.
