Zanu-PF national spokesperson Simon Khaya-Moyo confirmed that the party will hold Central Committee elections ahead of the Special Congress to be held in Harare next month.
Khaya Moyo said that circulars have been sent to provinces advising them to hold elections. Said Khaya Moyo:
We always hold Central Committee elections before going for a Congress and provinces have already been informed about the elections. A circular has been sent to provinces by the Secretary of Legal Affairs Cde Patrick Chinamasa whose department handles the matter.
He also said that it is up to districts to retain or elect new central Committee members. Said Khaya Moyo:
We’ve been informed that we should hold Central Committee elections as a requirement before we go for Congress. We have already informed the districts that they will have to elect new Central Committee members. It’s up to them to retain the existing Central Committee members or elect new ones.
However, a number of former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s perceived allies are expected to lose their Central Committee seats.
