THE Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has set May 31 as
the date for the nomination of candidates eager to contest the Nyanga Rural
District Council ward 26 by-election.
Manicaland provincial chief elections officer Mr Moffat
Masabeya has confirmed the date.
“The nomination court will sit on May 31 to select
candidates who will participate in the Nyanga RDC ward 26 by-election, which
was proclaimed vacant following the death of an MDC Alliance councillor elected
during the July 2018 harmonised elections,” he said.
Nyanga RDC ward 26 Clr Elias Mashumba died at Bonda Mission
last month after a short illness.
Ward 26 is predominantly in the forestry area which covers
Erin, Selborne and Mutarazi areas.
ZEC has described another local authority election which
was held last Saturday in Mutasa Ward 10 as peaceful, and hailed the political
parties which contested for showing maturity, tolerance and co-existence.
Mutasa Ward Elections Officer Mr Conillias Mudehwe said
voting went on well and all the candidates accepted the results.
Rosemary Mukodza (MDC-A) won with 801 votes ahead of Zanu
PF Cde Margret Tindirika who garnered 548. Manica Post
