From youth on,he remains faithful to the people of Zimbabwe and his track record of endurance is examplary. Back then,though youthful,he was and he is still a combative fighter who we trust like we do to e rest. These and other things makes him a right leader to assume office as the party National Secretary General. Nelson Chamisa (born 28 February 1978[1]) is a Zimbabwean politician and member of the House of Assembly of Zimbabwe for Kuwadzana, Harare. His charismatic speeches and eloquence saw him rise to become the Secretary for Information and Publicity for the opposition party Movement for Democratic Change (MDC),[2] and former national youth chairperson for that party.[1] Hon Chamisa is an articulate orator in his own right.

All of us are at risk.[2] On 10 February 2009, Morgan Tsvangirai designated Chamisa for the position of Minister of Information, Communication, and Technology as part of the national unity government.[3] After taking office, he fell into a dispute with Webster Shamu, the Minister of Information and Publicity, regarding which ministry should deal with telecommunications. The Herald reported on 10 April 2009, that President Robert Mugabe had assigned responsibility for telecommunications to the Ministry of Transport, headed by Nicholas Goche.[4] Chamisa and Tsvangirai objected to this decision, saying that Mugabe had no power to unilaterally assign telecommunications to another ministry under the terms of the power-sharing agreement.[5] VOTE HON NELSON CHAMISA FOR SECRETARY GENERAL;;
