By Paul Nyathi|The Matabeleland South ZANU PF Provincial Coordinating Committee is pushing for a complete nullification of the primary elections held over the weekend, ZimEye.com can reveal.

Highly reliable sources within the party in Gwanda told ZimEye.com that the committee has submitted an urgent appeal to the party headquarters requesting that results from the thirteen constituencies be nullified.

The committee is reportedly claiming that the elections were flawed resulting in losing candidates raising complaints to the PCC.

“The PCC claims that it has complaints from all the thirteen constituencies on the primary election and all of them of a similar nature which is forcing for a total rerun of the whole election,” said the sources.

According to the sources, complaints being raised are that the voters roll through out the province was irregular as some cell leaders were bribed to manipulate the roll.

The sources also claim that members of the opposition MDC-T were incorporated by G40 cell leaders into the voters rolls in order to elect weaker candidates to sabotage the Lacoste faction candidates.

“The PCC claims that in places like Insiza and Umzingwane MDC-T members with ZANU PF cards were incoporated into the voters rolls.”

The sources further claim that the PCC alleges that some of the candidates were not genuine ZANU PF members and were ineligible to contest the primary elections.

The province is also alleged to be calling on the party to immediately dismiss party Secretary for Information and Publicity Simon Khaya Moyo who they claim is a G40 functionary in the party and is directly responsible for causing the sabotage in the provincial elections.

The PCC is also reportedly demanding for the immediate recall of National Commissar Englebert Rugeje from his position accusing him of being politically immature to handle the office.

Provincial Chairman Rapelang Choene would not immediately give a comment on the matter as he was said to be in a party meeting in Harare.
