Charumbira’s election was largely due to the implementation of the rotation principle, which meant the southern and northern African regions were the only ones eligible to nominate candidates for the presidency.The principle of rotation provides for the PAP presidency to rotate among the five regions of the AU, namely north, west, east, central and Southern Africa. It is followed by the AU in all its organs as a means to unite the continent.
The southern and north regions were the only two that had not held the presidency since PAP’s inception in 2004. While the AU had agreed on the rotation principle, it is yet to be ratified by PAP and legally it is still not enforceable. In his opening remarks to the ordinary session sitting in Midrand, Gauteng, AU commission chair Moussa Faki Mahamat pleaded with PAP delegates to give the two regions a chance to lead the institution.“I want to be clear and sincere with you all. It is regrettable the protocol establishing rotation has not entered into force because of a lack of the required number of ratifications. From the legal point of view, it is obviously not effective,” Mahamat said on Tuesday.
Charumbira has previously served as one of PAP’s four vice-presidents. He was elected into that position in October 2018.Support independent journalism by subscribing to the
Lol, the most useless thing on earth. Imagine being president of this thing, it's like winning Monopoly money. 😂
That PAP is just a circus.Bringing all these corrupt and barbaric dictators from Africa and trying to lecture them about democracy. They will kick you 'ask juju and Penny Majodina 'deep down they know. There's no democracy in Africa.
Now PAP is going to be all over the ground all the zimababweans going to come down south following the President
Another Zanu-PF fraud who knows nothing about pan-Africanism. I wonder who voted for him.
Cape to Cairo PAP circus must move to Zimbabwe 🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪😭
I thought someone, a foreigner lover of note from MZANZI will be given that position, hey life, 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 PAP, just another project that will fail
PAP for puppets and puppies
Who gives a..... about a PAP
PAP 🤣
What a joke!
What value is he going to add if he can’t improve the situation at home
If he couldn't influence change for better in his own country how is he going improve the whole African continent
What does this PAP mean for ordinary South Africans? A Zimbabwean is now President of this thing and will certainly run it to the ground just like they did in Zimbabwe.
Why should they be elected while their country is suffering? Clearly they failed at home
This is sad 😔 that's why Noone takes this PAP serious 🤷♂️
Ohh Papsak💪
We hope he will work hard like GaytonMcK and help his ppl with their plight ZANUPF_Official
No wonder pan africanism will fail bcoz they pick a president from a failed state.
We welcome his election We are only hoping for a sounding unity of African Countries
How will this PAP help anybody? Or is it just another talkshop for politicians to blow hot air?
Can he collects Zimbabweans spread around the world back to their home...please. Under no circumstances must he find himself preaching the failed ideology PanAfricanism, he can do that in his failed country anyway...
Saze savelelwa 🙆♀️ this parliament must relocate to Zimbabwe
Can he encourage zimbos to go back to zim and rebuild their country.
And how is that going to help Zimbabweans 🤔
