Zanu-PF will hold an Ordinary Session of the Politburo in Harare today to take stock of the just ended primary elections held last weekend.

Confirming the development last night, party spokesperson, Christopher Mutsvangwa, said:

"The Zanu-PF Secretary General Dr OM Mpofu wishes to advise all members that there shall be an ordinary session of the Politburo to be held on Thursday March 30, 2023, at the home of the people's revolution, Zanu-PF headquarters commencing at 1400 hours. All members are expected to be seated by 13:45 hours sharp.

According to preliminary results announced by the party's National Political Commissar, Mike Bimha, some of the party heavyweights fell by the wayside and new faces will represent the party in the forthcoming harmonised elections.
