AT least four long-serving MDC-T councillors in Harare have
decided to climb up the political ladder and contest for parliamentary seats in
this year’s general elections after spending 10 years at Town House.
Wellington Chikombo is reportedly eyeing Glen Norah
constituency, Peter Moyo (Southerton), Rusty Markham (Harare North) and
Panganayi Charumbira (Budiriro), after serving as councillors since 2008.
Chikombo confirmed yesterday that he had submitted his CV
for consideration as a parliamentary candidate, but refused to divulge further
details, saying: “Talk to the party leadership”.
In Glen Norah, Chikombo is set to battle it out with
sitting MP Webster Maondera, while in Budiriro, Charumbira will take on Costa
Machingauta, both of whom are seeking re-election.
In Southerton, Moyo will challenge former Mines deputy
minister, Gift Chimanikire, who has been an MP for close to a decade.
Harare West legislator Jessie Majome is likely to face a
challenge from former students leader, Joanna Mamombe.
Party deputy president Elias Mudzuri will battle it out
against Eliphas Gadhi for the Warren Park constituency, which he has
superintended since 2005. Newsday
