Paul Nyathi|ZEC Cjairperson Priscilla Chiguma has been put under stern test of allegiance after a new political party, ZANU-PF Original, submitted a letter to her requesting recognition as a political party in Zimbabwe ready to contest elections.
Chiguma recently shocked all and sundry when she accepted the registration of a political party, MDC Zimbabwe, well knowing that there is already the MDC led by Nelson Chamisa and referring to itself as MDC Zimbabwe in some platforms.
Chiguma who has always been accused of having a soft spot for the ruling ZANU PF party will have to prove her strength when she deals with the new ZANU PF.
Below is the letter from the new party to which she still has to respond.
