Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>One of the candidates who was contesting the ZANU PF Mashonaland West Provincial chairmanship, Abia Mujere, has withdrawn his candidature, less than 24 hours before voting takes place.<\/p>\n

Mujere\u2019s withdrawal from the race in Mash West comes about a week after the ZANU PF Politburo disqualified businessman James Makamba from contesting in Mashonaland Central Province.<\/p>\n

The Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Mary Mliswa-Chikoka, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Deputy Minister Kindness Paradza, outgoing youth chairman Vengai Musengi and war veterans\u2019 league wing chairman Happison Muchechetere will now tussle for the most powerful post in ZANU PF Mash West Province.<\/p>\n

In a statement seen by the ZBC News, that was addressed to the elections directorate, Mujere announced his withdrawal from contesting for the provincial post. He, however, did not state why he was pulling out of the race. The statement read in part:<\/p>\n

I Abia Mujere hereby write to withdraw my candidature in the forthcoming Provincial Elections in Mashonaland West from contesting as Provincial Chairman on this day.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF confirmed Mujere\u2019s voluntary withdrawal from the race and advised voters to take note. The party said:<\/p>\n

The National Spokesperson of the Party having confirmed with the National Secretary of the Commissariat, Cde M Bimha wishes to announce to the media and Mashonaland West Administrative Districts and the entire provincial electorate in particular that Cde Abia Mujeri, the former Chairman (Acting) of the Province has voluntarily withdrawn his candidature.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, he is no longer a candidate for the position of Chairman of the Province. The relevant voting masses of the Party are advised to take note.<\/p>\n

In a related development, Ozias Bvute was reportedly disqualified from contesting for the position of Chairman of Mashonaland East Province.<\/p>\n
