In this video, Gambakwe discusses the upcoming 2028 Zimbabwe elections and the M31 political party’s plans. Here’s a summary of the key points:
* Goal for 2028 Elections: The primary goal is for the opposition to secure 75% of all MP seats, ensuring that the ZANU-PF party does not return to power. [01:33]
* Candidate Registration: A form has been launched for individuals to register as candidates for MP, counselor, or senator positions. This process is designed to be transparent, with submitted information publicly visible. [02:01, 02:43]
* Financial Contribution for Candidates: Candidates will need to contribute $35 a month to cover the $1,000 submission fee to ZEC (Zimbabwe Electoral Commission) when the elections come. This is to avoid last-minute fundraising and ensure candidates are financially prepared. [03:16, 03:54]
* Early Preparation: The candidate selection process is starting early (in 2025 for the 2028 elections) to ensure a well-organized and transparent approach, unlike in the past where the origins of MPs were often unknown. [04:07]
* M31 Political Party: M31 is presented as a powerful new political force aiming to unite the opposition. The goal is to have a coalition where all opposition members are under one banner. [01:12, 09:07]
* Focus on Change and Transparency: The movement emphasizes supporting change, truth, transparency, and accountability. [10:14]
* Website and Digital Presence: A website, https://www.google.com/search?q=m31zimbabwe.com, has been set up for candidate registration and information. Although currently under construction by volunteers, it’s functional. They aim to be a “digital first” organization. [10:33, 13:26]
* Future Vision for Zimbabwe: Gambakwe paints a picture of a prosperous future for Zimbabwe with a new government, where citizens don’t have to flee the country, where there’s no corruption or oppression, and where the economy thrives, even aiming for Zimbabwe to be like Dubai in 5 years. [15:30, 16:22]
* Call to Action for Young People: He urges young people to take leadership roles and participate in the change. [04:57, 16:41]
* Chamisa’s Role: Gambakwe states that Chamisa will not be returning to politics. [22:55, 23:14] He emphasizes the need for a system rather than relying on a single individual, suggesting that ZANU-PF might have compromising information on Chamisa. [23:45, 26:21]
* Contesting By-Elections: M31 plans to start contesting by-elections from January to challenge ZANU-PF. [14:28]
* Sponsor Mention: He briefly promotes a product called “V,” highlighting its benefits for energy and health. [18:31, 19:04]
* Platform Change: Gambakwe announces a move for his live broadcasts from Gambakwe Media Facebook page to gamb.com (which will change to gambaku live) to use the larger page for information distribution. [32:22, 32:34]
Gambakwe is very passionate about these plans and expresses strong conviction that M31 will bring significant positive change to Zimbabwe.
