Bulawayo (New Ziana)-Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube and deputy Industry and Commerce Minister Raj Modi will represent ZANU PF in the forthcoming harmonised elections to be held later this year after they sailed through uncontested in the primary elections held over the weekend.
Modi is eyeing Bulawayo South constituency while Ncube, who will be contesting for the first time, looks forward to battle it out with the opposition in Cowdry Park.
Musician Sandra Ndebele won the right to represent the party in ward 20 while Tendai Charuka won the right to Bulawayo Central in the primary elections.
Zanu PF had 71 polling stations for the primaries and voting went on smoothly with huge turnout in some areas, although a few voters complained had their names had been removed or were not appearing in the cell voters rolls.
A total of 37 candidates were vying to represent the party in 12 National Assembly seats in Bulawayo.
The Senatorial constituencies had 10 candidates while the women`s quota had 15 candidates and one for the youth quota.
The party had to postpone the primary elections to Saturday from March 18 after it was overwhelmed with candidates who wanted to represent it in the forthcoming general elections.
