By Dickson Bandera
For a constituency that he so loved and worked for, Zanu PF candidate in the Mabvuku-Tafara by-election has won the seat uncontested, just a day before the poll after the High Court nullified the candidature of CCC’s Febion Kufahakutizwi.
ZEC Chief Election Officer, Mr Utloile Silaigwana said further to the Press release issued by the Commission, the candidature of CCC’s Mr Kufahakutizwi 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 Pedzisai 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 Pedzisai 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.
Sakupwanya, is another vibrant youthful leader who has won an election just some few weeks after Cde John Paradza romped to victory in Gutu.
