ZANU PF is set to hold its 396th Politburo meeting in Harare today, as the ruling party ramps up its logistical and organisational machinery ahead of its flagship annual event — the 23rd Annual National People’s Conference.
The conference is scheduled to take place in Chinhoyi, the provincial capital of Mashonaland West Province, a key political stronghold of the party.
The upcoming Politburo session was officially confirmed by ZANU PF Secretary for Information and Publicity, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa, who issued a formal statement to the press yesterday.
According to the communication, the party’s Secretary General, Advocate Jacob Mudenda, has formally notified all members of the imperative meeting.
“ZANU PF Secretary General Advocate Jacob Mudenda advises members of a Politburo meeting to be held this Wednesday, 26th August 2026, at 12:00 hours. The meeting will be held at the ZANU PF headquarters,” reads the statement in part.
All Politburo members must be seated by no later than 11.45am, the statement says.
The 396th sitting comes at a time when the party is expected to fine-tune its policy direction and mobilisation strategies in the run-up to the conference.
