“The Zanu-PF party is pleased with the peaceful manner in which primary elections in the Hwedza North Constituency were held,” said Cde Kasukuwere in a statement last week.

“Warm congratulations are also extended to the winning Zanu-PF candidate for Hwedza North by elections, Cde David Musabayana, and all losing candidates who demonstrated the depth of political maturity that exists within the Party cadres.

“Efforts must now focus on unifying all of our supporters behind the Party and its candidate, so as to achieve a resounding victory.”
