Zanu PF acting spokesperson Mike Bimha also confirmed the development saying the development was also meant  to reduce the number of delegates attending the national conference at all the provincial virtual centres.

“It also endorsed the need to follow the Covid-19 regulations and protocols. This implies that all delegates at each provincial centre must have been vaccinated and tested. They must be able to observe social distancing,” said Bimha.

“The Politburo following deliberations resolved to suspend provincial elections until further notice. This was done to allow party structures to focus on the preparations of the Annual People’s Conference.”

“However, to ensure growth of the national members of the youth league who are now above 35 years, it was resolved that these members will be retrained and redeployed as ex-officio members of the Central Committee.”

Zanu PF is set to hold its annual conference in Bindura with some delegated following the proceedings virtually at Provincial centers.
