Zanu PF, MDC-T losing candidates plot shocker

Political tension has reportedly hit both Zanu PF and opposition MDC-T camps in Manicaland province, where disgruntled party members, who lost in the primary elections, have threatened to shock their leaders by registering as independent candidates when the nomination court sits on Thursday.

This came amid reports that both parties held shambolic primary elections, which left their supporters sharply divided along factional lines.

The MDC-T is yet to finalise its candidates’ selection process in some constituencies, where party members have reportedly resisted imposition of candidates, particularly from MDC Alliance partners.
