Former war veterans leader, Jabulani Sibanda did not stand
at the weekend Zanu PF elections in Bulawayo as he was persuaded to step aside.
Zanu-PF director in the commissariat George Nare said : “He
was persuaded by fellow war veterans not to contest and allow Cde Ncube, who is
chairman of the war veterans in Bulawayo province, to do so which he won
resoundingly.”
He however said some results had been nullified because of
poor candidates. He said as the elections progressed they realised that the
calibre of candidates who were being elected to occupy critical provincial
posts left a lot to be desired.
He said people with criminal records were now finding their
way into the provincial leadership yet the party requires disciplined people.
He said election results that came out of
Saturday’s polls still stand. Nare said during Saturday’s elections, Cde
Rejoice Ndlovu was elected chairperson of the Women’s League, while Cdes Cephas
Ncube and Garikayi Zonde were elected as chairpersons of the Main Wing and
Youth League respectively.
