Zanu PF loses in Mabelreign council by-election

ZANU PF lost to an independent candidate in the Mabelreign council by-election last weekend, a move observers say was an indication that the ruling party is still not popular in urban areas.

In elections boycotted by opposition parties, Zanu PF candidate Spencer Mabeka polled 233 votes, losing to Peter Manjoro, an independent, who garnered 265 votes.

The seat fell vacant following the death of MDC-T’s Lancelot Mudavanhu in July this year.
