The ZANU PF Midlands Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) has announced the names of the members who have been approved to stand for the upcoming District Coordinating Committee (DCC) elections.

The announcement paves way for the aspirants to start campaigning ahead of the elections to be held on a date to be announced.

More than 60 CVs were accepted while 26 CVs were rejected.

Gokwe Nembudziya constituency legislator, Justice Mayor Wadyajena becomes Gokwe North District DCC chairperson after securing the post without any contest following the withdrawal of a fellow contender before the announcement of the final list.

Other notable names which made the list include Tafanana Zhou who is eyeing Mberengwa District chairperson post and Kandros Mugabe who is eyeing Kwekwe District secretary for finance post.

Another highlight of the meeting was the disqualification of Tawanda Karikoga who was vying for the Gokwe South district chairmanship on the basis that he has spent a month outside the country.

Some members from his district said he could not run it from South Africa.

Zanu PF Midlands Provincial spokesperson Cornelius Mupereri said the chosen were members who were able to lead the party and assist in members mobilisation.

"It's all systems go for the Midlands Zanu-PF DCC elections following the announcement of members who made it to the final list after vetting at provincial and national level in a process that saw 26 members being dropped from contesting the polls," he said.

Zanu PF Politburo member, Simbarashe Mumbengegwi said the party is bigger than individuals adding that there should be no imposition of leaders.
