Chegutu West Member of Parliament, Dexter Nduna whose victory was reported as having been overturned was today sworn in despite the matter pending in the courts.

Nduna of Zanu PF had initially announced as the winner with 10932 votes to MDC Alliance Gift Konjana’s 10828 but the latter was able to provide evidence of counting anomalies.

According to an announcement purportedly from ZEC, the discrepancy occurred due to transcription error from V23A to V23B at the constituency during data capturing.

The communication added that, “the transcription error resulted in Konjana Gift getting ten thousand eight hundred and twenty eight votes against Nduna’s ten thousand nine hundred and thirt two.

“if the error is corrected Konjana Gift’s result would be ten thousand nine hundred and forty eight (10948) votes against Nduna Dexter’s ten thousand nine hundred and thirty two (10932). This makes Konjana Goft the winner instead of Nduna.”

However Nduna has since taken oath of office and this will make it difficult for Konjana to find his way in parliament unless the court rules in his favor.

Konjana has since approached the court seeking nullification of the ZEC declaration of Nduna as the winner of Chegutu West constituency.
