THE MDC Alliance party will hold its primary vote tomorrow to select a candidate who will represent the party in the Nyanga Rural District Council ward 26 by-election.<\/p>\n
This comes after the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) set May 31 as the date for the nomination of candidates.<\/p>\n
Manicaland provincial chief elections officer Moffat Masabeya confirmed the date of the nomination court sitting, but said the election date would be announced later.<\/p>\n
The seat fell vacant after the death of MDC Alliance councillor Elias Mashumba last month after a short illness.<\/p>\n
The party\u2019s organising secretary Freddy Dziwande said the party was still receiving names of people who will contest in the elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to have our primary elections to choose a candidate to represent us in the Nyanga Rural District Council by-election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still compiling names. The names of people who are going to contest in the primary elections should be ready by tomorrow (today). I am told three candidates are interested so far, but I will update you later,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ward 26 is predominantly in the forestry area which covers Erin, Selborne and Mutarazi areas.<\/p>\n
The opposition party early this month won the Mutasa Rural District Council ward 10 by-election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
