The Zanu-PF Midlands province has started rolling out campaign programmes ahead of the Chiwundura constituency parliamentary by-election scheduled for July 15.

The party’s provincial spokesperson Cde Cornelius Mpereri said the revolutionary party, which will be represented by Cde Brown Ndlovu, had received an overwhelming response to its pre-launch campaigns in the constituency.

Cde Mpereri said the party had started mobilising people not only for the Chiwundura parliamentary by-election but for the 2018 harmonised elections.

“We are being represented by Cde Ndlovu. We are certain that we are going to retain that parliamentary seat. Other opposition parties have already chickened out and as such we have no competition. We have rolled out the campaigning strategy and people have shown tremendous support for the revolutionary party,” said Cde Mpereri.

He said the Chiwundura by-election results will be a reflection of what is going to happen in the 2018 harmonised elections.

“Our machinery is well-oiled and we are going to collect all the Parliamentary seats in the province come 2018,”  said Cde Mpereri.

Cde Ndlovu won the ticket to represent the revolutionary party after the winner and former Zvishavane legislator, Cde Pearson Meeting Mbalekwa was disqualified.

The Chiwundura parliamentary seat fell vacant following the death of Cde Kizito Chivamba who was Zanu PF’s deputy provincial chairman.

He was declared a liberation war hero and buried at the Provincial Heroes’ Acre in Gweru.
