Winners and losers of the recently concluded ZANU PF primary elections, which were held last week,
have committed to working together and join forces to get five million votes for President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the Party.
In his statement after losing to Cde Kudakwashe Mupamhanga in the Mt Darwin South constituency, ZANU PF Mashonaland Central Provincial Political Commissar, Cde Paul Kamukombe stated that he was prepared to work with the winner.
“I ran against Cde Mupamhanga. The people selected Cde Mupamhanga to represent them, even though I wanted to win, I am now prepared to cooperate with Cde Mupamhanga to achieve the Party's goal of five million votes,” stated Cde Kamukombe.
Furthermore, Cde Zivanai Musanhu who lost the Mt Darwin South seat race to Cde Mupamhanga, congratulated the victor and offered his support to the Member of Parliament elect.
“Regai nditi makorokoto kune vose ava vakabudirira pamakwikwi ekusarudza vamiririri veZANU PF pama harmonised elections. Ndinokorokotedza zvakanyanya Cde Mupamhanga, who was one of my contenders in the MPs category. Well done Moyo makarwa kurwa kukuru. The season for tag of war is over, tose tavakupa rutsigiro rwedu kwamuri in the name of ZANU PF,” said Cde Musanhu.
After defeating Cde Fortune Chasi in the Mazowe South constituency primary elections, Cde Nobert Mazungunye declared that he was ready to collaborate with his opponent for the benefit of the Party.
“In addition, I do pledge to work well in harmony with all those in various leadership positions as well as those who participated in the just ended primary elections in order to achieve the five million votes target for our President. This can only be achieved, when all those who participated and those who rallied behind them rid themselves of the primary election mood and come together to work towards the same goal that is of developing Mazowe South and the nation at large.
“I would also want to thank Advocate Fortune Chasi for the pledge he made to support and work well with the incoming MP as well as those like-minded,” said Cde Mazungunye.
Meanwhile, ZANU PF disqualified violence mongers, drug lords, and all those with questionable characters from standing for the ruling party in the forthcoming elections as the Party maintains high ethical standards with rerun polls set to be held in some constituencies.
