THE chaos that marred Zanu PF’s District Coordinating Committee (DCC) elections in Gwanda last December has returned to haunt the ruling party again amid fears the disharmony could affect the party’s voter mobilisation exercise ahead of the 2023 elections.
The DCC elections were marred by acute logistical challenges with less than a quarter of the party’s eligible voters reported to have cast their ballots in the internal polls.
According to internal party sources, renewed infighting in the district is feared could derail the party’s mobilisation campaigns ahead of national elections 2023.
Zanu PF is already in a campaign mode and has already tasked structures to mobilise and ensure the party notches a five million vote margin in 2023.

THE Zimbabwe Electoral Support Network (ZESN) has called on government to lift the ban on the holding of by-elections and to abandon alleged biases against rivals during the enforcement of the national lockdown.
Government has since been relaxing lockdown regulations with a recent stance allowing businesses to resume operations.
However, by-elections and electoral processes such as voter registration remain suspended.
This is despite political parties conducting activities in some constituencies, at times, in violation of Covid-19 regulations.
The poll watchdog said in a report focussing on government’s implementation of the lockdown that electoral processes could still go ahead during the current lockdown period.
