Sarah Mahoka of Hurungwe East constituency in Mashonaland West province said the party is working hard to fulfil its promises to the electorate.
Zanu PF parliamentary candidates won 160 seats while the MDC-T won 49 seats in elections that were declared free, credible and reflecting the aspirations of the Zimbabwean people by the African Union.
