Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Norton MP Temba Mliswa (Independent), claims the constituency delimitation exercise by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) reduced ZANU PF\u2019s support base in Norton.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF Mashonaland West provincial Women\u2019s League chairperson, Constance Shamu was elected the party\u2019s candidate for Norton in upcoming elections during primary elections held last month.<\/p>\n

Shamu will likely face Citizens\u2019 Coalition for Change (CCC)\u2019s Richard Tsvangirai.<\/p>\n

Posting on Twitter recently, Presidential spokesperson, George Charamba, asserted that males who are contesting against aspiring female candidates must prepare for exit. Wrote Charamba:<\/p>\n

This year is the year of the girl child. It is our chance to equalise. As such if you are a man and you find yourself standing against a woman, you should begin packing your bag in earnest, @TembaMliswa be warned.<\/p>\n

In response, Mliswa claimed ZANU PF lost the little support it had in Norton due to the delimitation exercise. He said:<\/p>\n

Hijacked platitudes about the girl child, awkwardly pasted on my female senior, won\u2019t redeem your standing as a party in Norton.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF cannot win there especially now that the two rural wards in which it had a veneer of control are gone due to delimitation.<\/p>\n

Mliswa owes his incumbency to the MDC Alliance\u2019s benevolence after the opposition party opted not to field a candidate in Norton in 2018.<\/p>\n

The outspoken former ZANU PF Mashonaland West Provincial chairman defeated the ruling party\u2019s candidate Christopher Mutsvangwa in 2018.<\/p>\n
