Matemadanda accused of being a sore loser

A war of words has erupted in Gokwe South amid reports that the winners of last week's chaotic District Coordinating Committee (DCC) elections have vowed to stop the National Commissar Victor Matemadanda's proposed re-run.

Zanu-PF insiders told the Zim Morning Post that Matemadanda's team including his son lost the elections and this prompted him to declare a non-existent dispute at the national command centre.

"Our elections were properly held but his (Matemadanda) team was beaten hence he has coerced the national chairperson Oppah Muchinguri to call for a rerun," an insider said.

Last week Muchinguri announced election results of other districts and said Gokwe South and other areas in Manicaland are likely to go for re-runs.

"We are wondering why our results were not confirmed when everything went well in Gokwe South," the source said.

The source also said those who contested in Gokwe South including some losers were shocked to be informed the confirmation will only be done by the Zanu-PF First Secretary, President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Tawanda Karikoga, Gokwe Mapfungautsi legislator won the elections.

Below are the final results that were sent to the national command centre:
