But the issue I was referring to was not about recruiting grassroots members, I was referring on recruiting technocrats, strategist, PR, lawyer etc. The people who can set the tone for next general election or set motion on opposition political vehicle.
But if I go back your point that, how can opposition function with political ban set on them, look at what is going on in Spain right now with Catalan independence. Those guys are bombarded with ban after ban, but there still working. Rallies is not the only way to communicate with the wider public. I mention before that local party officers, social media and traditional media can play a key role on spreading the word to the people.
Just the other day i came accros the article on DailyNews online, written by P. Msekwa explaining that the bad was not all bad for Chadema, now they've time to rebuild there party and position themselves to the prospects of governing.
CHADEMA: Rallies are a wastage of time
