ZANU PF is set to conduct primary election re-runs in 27 wards across the country after the initial polls were marred by violence and reports of rigging.
Addressing the media yesterday, Zanu PF political commissar Mike Bimha said re-runs would be held this weekend in areas affected by the new delimitation boundaries and violence among other irregularities.
