THE Zanu-PF Bulawayo Province yesterday held its provincial
elections at the party offices where four candidates threw in their hats for
the chairman’s post in the main wing.
The four are Cdes Abednico Nyathi, Isaac Dakamela, Cephas
Ncube and Cornelius Nyathi. Cde Abednico Nyathi, a former Bulawayo Mayor and
Cde Dakamela once served as the party’s provincial chairman while Cde Ncube is
currently chairing the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association
(ZNLWVA) Bulawayo Province.
The co-ordinator of the exercise, Retired Colonel George
Nare said results were expected to be announced today.
“We had a high voter turnout and the voting went on
smoothly. There were no incidents of violence or any arguments whatsoever. What
made a delay in the process was a meeting we held before the voting began where
we explained how the procedure would be done. What we really want to emphasise
is the peaceful manner in which these elections were carried out. It is a sign
of political harmony and maturity within the party and we hope to see this
throughout the country,” said Rtd Col Nare.
He said yesterday’s elections were for provincial
chairperson posts, Women’s League and Youth League.
“There were four candidates vying for the post of chairman
for the province, five for the Women’s League and six for the Youth League. The
names of the winners will be announced tomorrow, after we have finished
compiling the figures,” said Rtd Col Nare.
In the Women’s League, the candidates were Cdes Metilia
Matuna, Maidei Mpala, Rejoice Sibanda, Margret Malinga Ndlovu and Sihle Thebe
while in the Youth League those who locked horns were Cdes Gwinyayi Mucheki,
Gracia Ndlovu, Garikayi Zonde, Nomaqhawe Mukwena, Mthunzi Mabhena and Honest
Moyo. District elections will be held today at Davies Hall. Sunday News
