Mugabe blocks Chiyangwa again

Harare(ZimEye)President Robert Mugabe and Zanu-PF have nullified the elec­tion of Philip Chiyangwa as vice chairman for Mashona­land West Province.
Chiyangwa was elected on March 16 in Chinhoyi in an election whose outcome was later challenged by Hurungwe district coordinating committee (DCC) as having broken a gentleman’s agreement that the top six provincial position should be equally distributed within the province.
Hurungwe district who lost out on the top six position was gunning for a vice chairmanship position but somewhat lost to Chiyangwa from Makonde district prompting the DCC to write to both Zanu pf national commissar and national chairperson and secretary for administration protesting against the election, and pushed for the nullification of election results.
Zanu-PF spokesperson Cde Rugare Gumbo yesterday said the Politburo headed by Mugabe discussed the issue on Wednesday and decided to nullify Chiyangwa’s election to vice chairperson.
“There were reports recently that Cde Chiyangwa was elected as the vice chairman for Mashonaland West Province. The Politburo on Wednes­day reviewed that case and nullified the election.
“The decision was today endorsed by the Central Com­mittee. Cde Chiyangwa will remain as an ordinary member of the party until further notice,” said Gumbo.
Gumbo also announced that the party will now work on a date to elect a new provincial vice president and Chiyangwa will remain an ordinary member until the party decide otherwise. Chiyangwa was recently readmitted to the party after a suspension in 2006 following allegations of espionage against him by the State and it is understood that in February he was cleared to contest for any party position.
Late last year Mugabe was reported to have blocked an attempt to fast-track Chiyangwa’s re-admission to the party and insisted that Chiyangwa should start from grassroots as a member and work his way up, but Chiyangwa’s sudden election to vice chairperson seemed too soon for Mugabe’s approval who had in November blocked an earlier bid to contest the chairmanship.(ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

  1. This clearly shows that Zanu Pf has absolutely no clue to what they do.Why did they let Chiyangwa contest in the first place when they knew his election victory would be a violation to what they had agreed upon prior.To say it’s the same party that has ruled Zimbabwe for over 30years! No wonder this country has gone backwards.What a complete circus Zanu PF is! Have no clue what democracy is, have no clue leading this country out of it’s economic hell hole.Clueless party.What a disaster for our beloved Zimbabwe.

  3. “What shall it profit a man to gain this whole world and lose his own soul” Its time for those who fear Lord to remain faithful and never include themselves in politics.Jesus is coming very soon.

  4. Fidza you are a fool, if not outright idiot. Can you not see Chiyangwa is too fast in what he does. Chiyangwa brought violence to Chinhoyi through his so-called top six gang. I hate Mugabe but Chiyangwa i do with a passion.

  5. Yet Another example that Mugabe has no respect for democratic election. He does not know what the meaning of “democracy” means.

  6. Mudhara knows what he is doing, only idiots will dispute this.
    Philip aitengesa inofrmation kune zvimbwasungata.
    he has to work extra hard to regain Mudhara’s trust.

  7. If my memory is good enough,mukoma philip once said he was no longer interested in politics,he now wanted to be a full chrstian.you had made a good decision brother.

  8. Nehondo, why do you do say such things? I am from Chinhoyi and although I don’t like ZANU PF, Cde Chiyangwa is the person for this post. Remember how he won the elections in 2000 by a landslide? You are obviously a foolish ZANU idiet!
