LITTLE KNOWN MDC-T councillor, Garikayi Dendera surprised all-and-sundry Friday when he got nomination to contest the Chinhoyi mayoral post which he went on to win during elections held at Town House.
Dendera of Ward 5 beat recently-reinstated Zanu PF councillor Voster Mashevedzanwa after polling five against four votes, respectively.
Unwell councillor Mercy Mada (Ward 6), who attended the election in a wheelchair, won the deputy mayor’s post after garnering six votes, while her contender, Zanu PF’s Innocent Mangwanya polled a paltry three votes.
Alderman Blackmore Nyangairo had initially been tipped to win the mayoral race, but failed to get a single nomination.
