By Talent Gondo| Zanu Pf will no longer receive or entertain petitions concerning the just ended primary elections amid calls for the losing candidates to rally behind those who won.
The national political commissar for the party, Retired Brigadier General, Engelbert Rugeje on Sunday announced names of those who won in the polls revealing that the party had noted “gross irregularities” in several constituencies.
He however did not detail what these gross irreguralities were although party supporters and mostly losing candidates alleged massive vote rigging through ballot stuffing.
“The party resolved to conduct re runs,” said Obert Mpofu who was speaking on behalf of Retired Brigadier Rugeje.
According to media reports, Zanu Pf initially resolved to conduct the ‘re runs in less than 10 constituencies mostly in Harare and Mashonaland West.
The party revealed that it would send independent observers to areas where the election results are contested.
The party has added Kambuzuma constituency in Harare to the list of constituencies where ‘re runs are to be done on a date yet to be advised.
However, Gutu East constituency has been scrapped off this list and Beritta Chikwama was declared the winner who will contest using the party’s ticket in the forthcoming harmonised polls.
