Former Finance minister Simba Makoni’s Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn (MKD) party has restructured its Harare provincial executive ahead of its inaugural national congress scheduled for July 1 this year.
The venue of the congress will be decided at the national executive meeting in Harare this Saturday.
MKD spokesperson Silver Bhebe said structures for other provinces were set up at the inception of the party in 2008, except for Harare.
“Harare structures had been dissolved because of problems,” said Bhebe.
The meeting to elect the Harare executive was held at the party’s national headquarters in the city on Saturday. Francis Zimunya retained his seat as Harare provincial chairman with Chenjerai Gwanzura as his deputy. Wonder Muvandi won the party’s administrator position and Ephraim Nhakura became his deputy.
Hilda Mudiwa was elected the party’s provincial organising secretary and will be deputised by Francis Chatinde.
