By A Correspondent| Zanu PF has come guns blazing against the opposition MDC Alliance over its stance against government decision to postpone by-elections saying they already dominate both the lower and upper house hence not worried about delays.

Addressing the media Saturday morning, party spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa said they by-elections were not an issue to them, telling MDC Alliance to desist from claiming that the ruling party influence the recent ban on by-elections.

“However, the party makes it categorically clear that the by-elections are not even an issue of much interest as the Party already dominates the representation in Parly. the Opposition should therefore desist from claiming that the Party is influencing the delay,” said Chinamasa.

The minister of health and child care Constantino Chiwenga recently enacted Statutory Instrument 225 of 2020 which effectively banned by-elections until the COVID-19 pandemic declaration has been removed.

The move attracted condemnation from the opposition who felt it was meant to suppress opposition views in parliament.
