Zanu-PF is brimming with confidence ahead of the Zaka East by-election slated for Saturday, with officials saying victory is certain as they wrap-up the party’s campaign juggernaut.

Out of 26 constituencies here, Zanu-PF bagged 25 in the July 31, 2018 harmonised elections, including Zaka East, which fell vacant following the death of Caston Ringisai Gumbwanda in June.

According to senior ruling party officials here, Zanu-PF is primed for victory.

Zaka East was a no-go area for the opposition as the ruling party enjoyed entrenched support, making it difficult for briefcase parties to penetrate.

Since the July 2018 general elections, Zanu-PF prides itself for winning all by-elections held so far, except the recent one in Glen View South, Harare.

In an interview with The Herald yesterday, Zanu-PF Masvingo provincial chairman Ezra Chadzamira was bullish about the revolutionary party’s prospects.

“We have reached the zenith of our campaign for the Zaka East by-election as we wrap up our campaign tomorrow (today),” said Chadzamira.

“We are going to retain that seat without any challenge. We are telling our people to vote for our party which is the party of our liberation and the party with the history of the nation.

‘‘ I can assure our people that we are going to deliver on all promises we made in our election campaign Manifesto.”State media
