ZANU PF Primary Elections will now take place on March 24.
The elections will determine candidates that will represent the ruling Party in impending harmonized elections this year.
Among the contestants are returnees who ditched the Movement for Democratic Change Alliance (MDC-A) and Citizen for Coalition Change (CCC).
Speaking during a media briefing at ZANU-PF Headquarters, National Commissar Cde Mike Bimha said all CVs including those of returnees have been considered by the Politburo.
“A decision was made to allow members from the CCC and MDC as returnees to contest if they wanted to for any seats that they so desired. They were however denied to contest up to the senatorial level,”
“We invited interested candidates to submit Curriculum Vitae to their provinces. The Politburo went through the CVS. The instructions were clear that no CV was to be denied rather all those meeting the requirements were allowed to contest,” said Cde Bimha.
He said any candidate with complaints should submit them to the commissariat before the announcement.
“The results will be listed at polling centres but will be announced officially at the national command centre,” he added.
The results will only be announced by the Party’s National Political Commissar and the National Spokesperson.
