THE Nelson Chamisa-led MDC-T has rolled out a new campaign
5 Million Vote Effect, targeting to lure at least five million registered
voters ahead of this year’s general elections.
The initiative, started by two former University of
Zimbabwe student leaders, Taurai Gwesu and Charles Mutama, is aimed at turning
the huge crowds at Chamisa’s campaign rallies into potential votes by urging
supporters to register in the ongoing voter registration exercise.
“The bullet train must translate into registered voters
and, ultimately, into an overwhelming mandate for the MDC Alliance candidates
in council, parliamentary, and Presidential elections. The main idea being that
of the five million registered, the majority should be members of the alliance
within the structures of the respective parties,” the movement’s founders said
in a statement yesterday.
“We envisage a situation, where the MDC Alliance structures
countrywide and the generality of Zimbabweans play a leading role in the voter
registration advocacy in their wards and announce a get out and vote for change
message. The idea behind the concept is that the five million voters create a
ripple effect on others and one person’s vote has a multiplying effect on
others.” Newsday
