President Emmerson Mnangagwa has stated that no one should be left behind for trivial reasons, except in cases where the aspiring candidate has a lengthy criminal record.
This was announced during a tense Politiburo meeting on Monday, where the party’s highest decision-making body deliberated on election dates and other issues.
Following Mnangagwa’s announcement, Epworth MP aspirant Kudakwashe Damson’s head was guillotined.
He was barred from running for office after allegedly assaulting a Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) official.
His disqualification validates Zanu PF’s call for nonviolence.
However, it appears that the National Electoral Committee overlooked some elements that should have resulted in disqualification.
One such is Stalin Mau Mau ,a DCC4 senatorial aspirant.
A tainted past haunts Mau Mau who dismally lost the Harare East parliamentary seat in 2000.
