The Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front primary elections which will determine the candidates to contest this year’s elections have been moved forward from 5 May to 29 April.

Thokozani Khupe, who refused to accept the appointment of Nelson Chamisa as leader of the Movement for Democratic Change-Tsvangirai, was today elected unopposed as president of her own faction also going by the name of MDC-T.

The impartiality of the Temba Mliswa-led probe into Zimbabwe’s missing diamonds has questioned with allegations that though the Norton legislator is an independent candidate he is close to President Emmerson Mnangagwa and is protecting the President and the military elite that surround him.

There is confusion about whether the congress of the Thokozani Khupe faction of the Movement for Democratic Change is on or not with one of her key lieutenants Obert Gutu saying it is on while an online publication says Gutu announced last night that the congress has been postponed to 2 June.

The Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front has named its elections directorate as it gears up for the coming elections.
