Zanu-PF conducts 8 primary elections

Zanu-PF successfully conducted primary elections on Saturday in eight constituencies in Harare, Midlands and Manicaland and has announced candidates who will represent the party in the by-elections set for June 10, should by-elections become necessary by the close of the Nomination Courts on Thursday.

Bulawayo, Mpopoma, Lobengula, Pumula, Makokoba and Luveve will have primaries this week, while Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo was unanimously endorsed for Tsholotsho North.

The 14 constituencies fell vacant after the recall of 21 MDC-T legislators from Parliament last month, which will see MDC-T filling the other seven seats which it won on proportional representation in the July 31 2013 harmonised elections.

Harare provincial chairman Cde Godwills Masimirembwa announced the results for the province yesterday and commended the conduct of the candidates.
