"We are expecting the best candidate to win during the elections and we expect comrade Esau Mupfumi to win the elections knowing that he is a capable leader who is able to deal with drug abuse in Sakubva," he said.

Sakupwanya has led the province and is popular within the Zanu PF structures because of his humility.

"We are expecting peaceful elections on Saturday, we are continuing to preach peace just like our President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been preaching unity," Mukodza said.
