Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Some ZANU PF bigwigs including former Health minister David Parirenyatwa, politburo member Tendai Chirau and ex-wife of ruling party deputy president Kembo Mohadi, Tambudzani lost in Central Committee elections that were held across the country on Saturday, 08 October 2022.<\/p>\n

Allegations of vote buying during the polls were raised after ICT minister Jenfan Muswere arrived at a polling station in Manicaland with a truck full of bicycles.<\/p>\n

Parirenyatwa and Lillian Zemura were defeated by David Mugomeza in Murewa district.<\/p>\n

Although returning officer ZANU PF provincial member Ntombiyakhe Ndlovu did not disclose official results in Beitbridge, Mohadi and Ambassador Aaron Maboyi lost, according to party insiders.<\/p>\n

In Wedza district, former Transport Deputy minister Michael Madanha and his Foreign Affairs ministry counterpart David Musabayana lost.<\/p>\n

Madanha lost to Esther Gwatidzo while Musabayana lost to Bertha Choto.<\/p>\n

Madanha is a former Wedza South MP and former Zimbabwe National Road Authority (ZINARA) board chairperson while Musabayana is the current Wedza North MP.<\/p>\n

Chirau, a politburo member, also lost in Harare to Mavis Gumbo.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, close allies of the late former president Robert Mugabe such as Sydney Sekeramayi and Webster Shamu won in Marondera and Chegutu West respectively.<\/p>\n

Sekeramayi was uncontested, and so was deputy information minister Kindness Paradza in Makonde.<\/p>\n

The Central Committee is ZANU PF\u2019s supreme decision-making body in-between congresses. | The Standard<\/b><\/p>\n
