Aspiring MPs told to support ED President Mnangagwa

Patrick Chitumba Midlands Bureau Chief
THE forthcoming Zanu-PF primary elections should be centred on promoting President Mnangagwa as the party’s Presidential candidate ahead of the individual parliamentary candidates. Officially announcing the approved list of individuals who will contest the party’s primary elections over the weekend, Zanu-PF Midlands provincial chairperson Engineer Daniel Mackenzie Ncube urged the approved candidates to consider the party first before personal praises.

He said the party candidates were representing President Mnangagwa.
“We have a total of 138 approved names for 28 constituencies in the province and as we go for the primary elections, candidates are being advised against mudslinging each other.

“Focus should be on President Mnangagwa and the party. President Mnangagwa should be first in these primary elections where we will have winners and losers. Either way candidates are urged to promote #EDhasMyVote campaign,” he said.
Eng Ncube said the primary elections should be free, fair and transparent ahead of the harmonised elections, which President Mnangagwa has said should be free, fair and transparent.

“Charity begins at home and these primary elections should be free, fair and transparent as the President is always saying. Let’s not denigrate each other. Put values of the party first,” he said.

“We sent names to the national elections committee, which saw some being approved and some not approved. We have an internal party dispute resolution mechanism and those who feel aggrieved should appeal now.”

Eng Ncube said Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Lieutenant-General Sibusiso Moyo (Retired) had his curriculum virtue to stand for the Mberengwa senatorial seat confirmed unchallenged together with the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs Cde Owen Ncube for Gokwe-Kana constituency.

Cde Simbarashe Mumbengegwi and Dr Larry Mavima will square it off for the Shurugwi-Zvishavane senatorial seat.
“Some of the constituencies and their approved candidates include Chirumhanzu -Zibagwe (seven), Chirumhanzu (four), Gokwe-Kana (one) candidate Cde Owen Ncube who is uncontested, Gokwe Central (three), Gokwe-Mapfungautsi (seven), Gokwe Sengwa (four), Gokwe Sesame (seven), Gokwe Chireya 14, Gokwe Nembudziya (two) Gokwe Kabuyani (four) Gokwe Gumunyu (six), Gweru Chiwundura (four), Gweru Urban (five), Gweru Mkoba (two), Vungu (six), Kwekwe Central (five), Mbizo (two) Redcliff (four) Silobela (two) Zhombe (two) Mberengwa East (five) Mberengwa North 11, Mberengwa South (six), Mberengwa West (two) Shurugwi North (five), Shurugwi South (nine), Zvishavane Ngezi (six).
