The Zanu PF Mashonaland East provincial elections directorate set on Sunday to make recommendations on CVs for candidates wishing to contest in the party’s primary election set for next month with all the incumbent members of the house of assembly seeking re-election.

According to the final list of CVs read by Provincial chairperson Joel Biggie Matiza, all the constituencies have challengers with some like Goromonzi South having as many as 13 candidates while only Mudzi South is a two-horse race pitting current legislator prominent lawyer Jonathan Samkange and former MP Eric Navaya.

Matiza said those who have submitted their CVs should wait for the final approval from the party headquarters to start campaigning.

“All those who have submitted their CVs should now wait for the final approved list from the party HQ and I urge you not to start campaigning as doing so will result in your candidature being withdrawn,” he said.

Zanu PF politburo member Dr Sydney Sekeramayi said members should maintain the unity they exhibited during the submission of CVs and work to ensure the party wins resoundingly.

“Lest continue with the spirit of working together we all exhibited during the submission of CVs and continue with our party programmes so that the party wins resoundingly,” Dr Sekeramayi said.

More than 2 000 members submitted their CVs for the national assembly, senatorial, women quota, proportional representation and local government positions.- state media
