Zanu-PF has lined up 60 rallies in Mwenezi East to drum up support for its candidate Joosbi Omar as the party seek to surpass 21 000 votes garnered during 2013 polls.
The by-election is set for April 8.
Omar could easily win the seat as his main rival Kudakashe Bhasikiti of the embattled ZimPF having chickened out of the race.
He alleged vote buying and intimidation by the ruling party among other charges.
Omar will now battle it out with Mr Turner Mhango of Free Zimbabwe Congress Party and Mr Welcome Masuku of NCA.
"Our target is to surpass by far the 21 000 votes garnered by Zanu-pf in the constituency (Mwenezi East) during the 2013 elections,'' he said.
''We are targeting to double the figure we got in the last election and we will hold a rally at every polling station in Mwenezi East starting on April 1 (Saturday) and this shows how seriously we are treating this election,'' said Zanu-pf Masvingo provincial secretary for administration Ailess Baloyi.
