ZANU-PF has ramped up its campaign activities ahead of the Insiza North by-election set for 14 June, as the ruling party aims to retain the parliamentary seat left vacant following the passing of the late Farai Taruvinga in March.
Matabeleland South Provincial Chairman, Mangaliso Ndlovu, revealed that the party has mobilised support structures from the provincial level down to grassroots, intensifying efforts to reach every voter. He described the response from the electorate as highly encouraging.
"Our campaign is in full swing, and we have taken it up a notch. We will intensify it further as we approach the election. Our aim is to visit every village and reach every homestead in the constituency through our mobilisation teams," said Ndlovu.
During recent visits to Wards 7 and 13, Ndlovu said residents expressed strong support for ZANU-PF, eager to continue the development agenda initiated by the late Taruvinga.
"The people are raring to go. They want to vote ZANU-PF back into office to carry forward the development work that had already begun under the late Taruvinga," he added.
Ndlovu highlighted that the campaign strategy is inspired by President Mnangagwa's message describing ZANU-PF as a "big bag that accommodates everyone, but does not fit into anyone's pocket," emphasizing the party's broad appeal across different communities.
The outreach programme targets both party loyalists and undecided voters. "We are rolling out a massive vote mobilisation exercise to ensure that even non-party members make the wise choice of voting ZANU-PF. I'm confident that through our strategies and the party's proven record, we will retain the seat," said Ndlovu.
The by-election will feature candidates from four political parties who successfully filed nominations at the Gwanda Provincial Magistrates' Court. They include Delani Moyo (ZANU-PF), Mr Thabani Mlotshwa (ZAPU), Mr Lesley Dube (Independent), and Mr Mbongeni Moyo (Zimbabwe National Revival Party).
Delani Moyo expressed honour in representing ZANU-PF and pledged to work tirelessly to defend the seat. "The groundwork had already started, and we're now taking it further. I will be engaging directly with the people, explaining the development that ZANU-PF and the Government intend to deliver - not only as a party but as their servant," he said.
He committed to advancing key components of Vision 2030, the government's blueprint for economic growth and improved livelihoods. "My focus is to further the Vision 2030 agenda so that we realise the development we need. This includes improved roads, better water supply, and the construction of essential infrastructure such as schools, clinics, and bridges," Moyo explained.
Confident in the party's grassroots support, Moyo concluded, "I'm confident that our members will turn out in numbers to defend the party. People can expect the much-needed development to come to fruition."
With the by-election fast approaching, ZANU-PF is clearly determined to maintain its stronghold in Insiza North and continue the development path laid down by the late Taruvinga.
