He garnered 1 255 votes to beat Cde Walter Chidhakwa who got 711 votes, Cde Rueben Marumahoko who had 513 votes and Cde Moffat Marashwa who got 52 votes.
Cde Marumahoko was the party’s acting provincial chairman.
Announcing the results at a Press briefing yesterday, Zanu-PF national political commissar Cde Webster Shamu said the incident-free election provided a template for the establishment of a democratic order in the party.
“The election shows our detractors that Zanu-PF is an organised party that can apply equality of opportunities to its people,” he said.
Cde Shamu said the election showed that the success of the revolution depended on a party that is well-organised.
“Our people have now began to understand that the success of our revolution depends on a people that are well-organised and working towards a common destiny,” he said.
