Zimbabwe People's Democratic Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zimbabwe People's Democratic Party is a political party in Zimbabwe. After the last legislative elections, March 31, 2005, the party remained without parliamentary representation.
In May of 2007, the Party elected Lameck Batirai as its candidate for the June 2007 Zaka East House of Assembly by-election to fill a vacancy left following the death of Tinos Rusere.
The Zimbabwe People’s Democratic Party (ZPDP) aims to return political power to the hands of the common people. The Party was formed in opposition to Mugabe’s government in 1991 and is led by the first woman in history to challenge the presidency of an African nation. The party is no stranger to Zimbabwean politics and since the very beginning has consistently opposed Zanu PF.
A lack of democracy in Zimbabwe has transformed the country from Africa’s breadbasket to a pool of corruption, hunger and illness. The economy is in shambles with inflation soaring to almost 15000 percent mainly because of greed, corruption and nepotism among members of the current government. The ZPDP says that Zimbabwe needs a change, not more of the same.
