Zanu PF in massive witch-hunt

ZANU PF has reportedly initiated a massive witch-hunt to punish party leaders accused of sabotaging President-elect Emmerson Mnangagwa after they won more votes than him in the August 23 and 24 elections.

Mnangagwa polled less votes than some of the party’s National Assembly candidates who polled 144 680 votes more that Mnangagwa, according to Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) figures.

Mnangagwa won in 127 constituencies, while Zanu PF won in 136 in this election against the ruling party’s directive ahead of the polls that no aspiring party parliamentary of council candidate should poll more votes than Mnangagwa.
