This has been revealed by the Election Resources Centre Zimbabwe.

"Mwenezi East: On 20th July the nomination court declared the only candidate, ZANU-PF'S Joshua Moyo, elected unopposed, but only with effect from 19th September, which is the date on which polling would have taken place had he been opposed," said the centre.
