Battle for Kaukonde seat looms

Jostling for the Marondera Central Constituency held by former Zanu-PF Mashonaland East chairman Ray Kaukonde has already begun with several ruling party bigwigs reportedly already canvassing for the seat.

A by-election is now imminent in Marondera as Zanu-PF as expected anytime to recall from Parliament Kaukonde together with Mbire legislator David Butau and Mwenezi East MP Kudakwashe Bhasikiti who were part of the seven fired last week.

Zanu-PF secretary for Administration, Ignatius Chombo, yesterday said the ruling party would soon write to Parliament notifying it of the expulsion and recall of the parliamentarians who no longer represented the revolutionary party's interests.
