Zanu-PF Central Committee Meets To Discuss Election Preparedness

Addressing Zanu-PF women’s league members from Harare province at Zanu-PF headquarters yesterday, President Mnangagwa said the party’s central committee will meet today to discuss election preparedness.

Mnangagwa said the Central Committee will discuss issues to do with the women’s quota after being informed only 22 out of 210 seats were won by women. Said Mnangagwa:

When I met your leaders, they gave me your grievances and one of them is the little number of women who won in the recently held primary elections. They said out of the 210 seats only 22 were won by women so we agreed that we will discuss the issue as the Central Committee tomorrow to see what we can do. The other issues they raised concern on include the allocation of resources. They said the resources that are there are mainly used by the main wing without specific allocations for the Women’s and Youth Leagues. It is one of the issues that we will also discuss tomorrow to ensure each wing is allocated its resources. The issue they raised was also on the transport for women to use during this campaign period. We will make announcements on that tomorrow.
