Renewal Democrats for Zimbabwe (RDZ) candidate for Mazowe North by elections, Elias Malukula has fled the constituency following alleged intimidation from Zanu-PF candidate Martin Dinha's supporters.

Malukula yesterday said that some of his close relatives have gone into hiding following numerous night visits by strangers travelling in unmarked cars, who were demanding that he withdraws his candidature ahead of the July 23 by-elections.

Dinha and Malukula are the only candidates contesting the by-election to fill the vacancy created by the death of Zanu-PF legislator Edgar Chidavaenzi in March this year.
