Zanu-PF sets primary elections rules

Zanu-PF yesterday announced rules governing its primary elections giving a special waiver on war veterans, and also threatening to expel any candidates who will try to campaign alone without their rivals within the party.

Making the announcement after an extraordinary politburo meeting in Harare that was chaired by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Zanu-PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo said for anyone to stand as an independent candidate in local government, national assembly or senatorial elections they should have served in the party organs for at least five years.
