ZANU PF and MDC choose their Local Authority Candidates in Mutare

As we are counting down towards nomination court day,8 february 2008,politicians are turning themselves into saints offering what they don"t even have.Candidates from both parties are leaving no stone unraveled.Like a Leopard,which does not change its spots,some say it is their routine habit of making empty promises.
After thorough Campaigns,ZANU PF finally went through its primary elections in all Urban wards on 02 Feb 2008 while the MDC had to successfully follow suit the next day,03 Feb 2008.
There was a browl at Sakubva Beit Hall when Mrs Akino and Tsitsi could not put their eggs in one basket.These were ZANU PF ward 4 primary elections candidates who equally looked desperate for power.When Mrs Akino was announced the winner,Tsitsi wrestled against her until their supporters had to try and save their masters.
In all other wards,peace prevailed at practically possible levels.Both parties conducted their primaries in the same way.Ignoring
Structures that were disturbed by the delimitation of constituencies,voters on primary elections were drawn from the population in that ward targeting those who had the potential of being party supporters.
The electorate is receiving this with mixed feeling, some say candidates were supposed to be chosen by party structures while others hail the idea of involving Jack and Jill in deciding who becomes the first citizen of the ward.However,the majority feels that it is now water under bridge and is now curiously waiting for primaries to choose their aspiring legislators.Those that triumphed are now busy with the vetting process and will begin campaigning after nomination.
