Veteran MDC Alliance politician Blessing Chebundo has challenged the results of the Kwekwe Central
Parliamentary elections citing several anomalies.
Chebundo rose to prominence when he defeated Emmerson Mnangagwa
twice in parliamentary elections in the constituency.
Chebundo is contesting the
outcome after the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) declared Masango Matambanadzo, also known as Blackman, of the
National Patriotic Front (NPF) the winner with 7 578 votes. Chebundo polled 7122 votes.
“It is true we have filed a court
application to challenge the Kwekwe
Central Parliamentary election results,” said Chebundo in an interview with an online publication.
