ZANU PF has already conducted primary elections to select candidates for the by-elections, with Cde Bimha expressing confidence in the party’s candidates. He urged party members to prioritize building a strong party rather than seeking personal gain.
Cde Kelvin Mutimbanyoka, ZANU PF’s candidate for Harare East constituency, outlined his plans to improve the lives of constituents, focusing on issues such as water accessibility, healthcare affordability, road rehabilitation, and education support for the underprivileged. He emphasized the party’s commitment to fulfilling its promises to the people.
In Mt Pleasant Constituency, Cde George Mashavave will contest against independent candidates Mr Naison Mamutse and Mr Brian Ticky. The vacancies in both constituencies arose from the resignations of Ms Fadzai Mahere and Mr Rusty Markham, who had been elected on a different party ticket but resigned in solidarity with a different political faction.
