The National Patriotic Front (NPF) said it intends to use graduates of the Border Gezi Youth Training Camps for its campaigns for impending by-elections.<\/p>\n

NPF Bulawayo provincial political commissar, Andifasi Banda told NewZimbabwe.com that some graduates of National Youth Service (NYS) will be coordinating the party\u2019s campaigns. Said Banda:<\/p>\n

We have started organising our structures in preparation for the by-elections which we anticipate being called any time from now.<\/p>\n

We are going to field candidates in all the wards and constituencies. We have not been doing much activity because of the Covid-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

Health and Childcare Minister Vice President Constantino Chiwenga last month suspended all impending by-elections which were pencilled for next month by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) citing the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

Several parliamentary constituencies and council wards fell vacant following the recall of MDC Alliance officials by the MDC-T and the death of some MPs and Councillors across the political divide.<\/p>\n

The NPF won the Kwekwe Central House of Assembly seat in the 2018 general elections but the sitting MP, Masango Matambanadzo died early this year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the NYS programme was launched by the late Youth Minister Border Gezi in 2001 ostensibly to inculcate revolutionary and patriotic ideologies into the country\u2019s young citizens.<\/p>\n
