ZANU PF has won the Mutasa North, Ward 6 council by-election with Regina Barara polling 1 080 votes, beating Babra Nyamururu of CCC who got 433 votes during the by-election held over the weekend.
The seat fell vacant following the death of CCC councillor, Edward Kavhuru, who passed away following a road accident.
Zanu PF Director of Information and Publicity, Tafadzwa Mugwadi told the State media the result was a mirror of what 2023 holds.
“We have been contested in the past and I must accept that we have had to put every effort to win, but with positive signals coming from these by-election victories, Zanu PF is alone and President Mnangagwa has no serious competitor on the Presidential ballot come 2023,” said Mugwadi.
“Of course, we owe it to President Mnangagwa and in him, we salute a hard-working visionary, a statesman and servant leader who leads by action, empathy and wisdom.
“The people of Zimbabwe have fallen in love with him and the party because he has delivered and accounted for his Presidency through life-changing and transformative policies that leave no one and no place behind.”
