Zanu PF candidate for Mabvuku-Tafara Constituency Pedzai Sakupwanya has won the seat uncontested as the only other candidature of CCC’s member Kufahakutizwi Febion Munyaradzi was set aside by the High Court, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said today.
In a statement, ZEC chief election Officer, Mr Utloile Silaigwana, said further to the press release issued by the commission on November 7, 2023, it is hereby notified that the candidature of Kufahakutizwi Febion Munyaradzi of CCC was also set aside by the High Court Order in the matter HCH7543/23.
“Since there were only two candidates nominated for the Mabvuku-Tafara National Assembly constituency by-election, Sakupwanya Pedzai of Zanu (PF) is the sole candidate that was duly nominated, hence there will be no by-election in that Constituency on 09 December 2023.
“Consequently, the public is hereby notified that Pedzai Sakupwanya of Zanu (PF) has been duly elected member of the National Assembly for Mabvuku-Tafara Constituency with effect from 9 December 2023,” reads the statement.
