The stage is now set for veritable battles of supremacy among top Zanu PF officials across the country following the invitation of CVs from prospective candidates.

The elections were supposed to have been held in October but were shelved after they cause a fierce factional firestorm as officials engaged in a vicious tussle for supremacy.

Zanu PF national political commissar Mike Bimha Wednesday told the media in Harare, the party was calling for CVs for aspiring provincial chairpersons, and those vying for others post in the provincial executive.

He did not specify when the elections will be held.

“Those aspiring for provincial chairmen, provincial chairwomen and provincial youth chairpersons’ posts must submit their CV (curriculum vitae) to their respective provinces by 17 December 2021. Those aspiring candidates who wish to occupy other provincial executive positions must also submit their CVs to their provinces by 17December 2021,” Bimha said.

The political commissar assured members that Zanu PF was now geared to finalise the provincial polls in due course, and all provinces were advised to adhere to the set guidelines and parameters.

“We have now put a framework to guide these elections and it is our hope that by Sunday December 19, all provinces would have completed districts so that we are ready for provincial elections,” he said.

“We are going to deploy Politburo members who will convene provincial coordinating committees (PCCs) on either Saturday 18 or Sunday 19 December 2021 collect CVs and lists of DCC and outgoing provincial executives for submission on Party Headquarters Monday December 20, 2021,” he added.
