Zanu PF sets primary elections date

Zanu PF will hold its primary elections on November 1 to select candidates to contest for vacant seats in Parliament following the recall of opposition legislators by self-imposed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) interim secretary-general Sengezo Tshabangu.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa proclaimed that the by-elections will be held on December 9 while the Nomination Court will sit on November 7.

Zanu PF political commissar, Mike Bimha, told NewsDay: “It’s true that we have set November 1 as the date for our primary elections subject to approval from our principals.”
