The Alliance for People’s Agenda (APA) has distanced itself from rumours circulating on social media that there are in talks with Nelson Chamisa for a possible coalition for the 2023 election.
The part did however not rule out the possibility of coming together. The nation has been plunged into election fever following the victory of Mr Hakainde Hichilema’s win in the Zambian Presidential elections held on the 12th of August 2021.
Below is the full statement from APA
Fake News Alert.
The report circulating on social media about APA discussing coalitions purportedly through an interview with Nehanda is false and quite sadly, indicative of how far our country has fallen.
APA has not had any interview with any media outlet on the subject of coalitions with any political party.
We are under no illusions as to the gravity of the task ahead to build Zimbabwe. It requires all citizens to work together guided by the right values.
The majority of voting Zimbabweans do not belong to any political organization and this silent majority made up mostly of the young people has to step up and own the struggle like the Zambian youth did. They moved the agenda through their friends and family circles like we have insisted we should all do since 2017. The winning candidate hardly held any rallies. But through family and friends, complemented by social media spaces, they achieved the change they desired.
Let us all embrace the People’s Agenda for 2023 and vote for Alliance for the People’s Agenda candidates.
