Violence
The candidate nomination process which was conduct on 5 April 2023 experienced incidences of violence which will result in the disqualification of perpetrators once investigations are concluded.
However, Mahere said violence was not tolerated.
“Violence is culture of Zanu-PF and we condemn it.
“Any person found responsible or for causing violence will be automatically disqualified from any form of participation of the candidate selection process whether by nomination, by making your voice heard or even standing.
“Investigations have already commenced in the limited cases where such reports were received,” she said.
According to Mahere 90 percent of the nominations were conducted without any complaints.
However, she maintained that the Citizen Independent Selection Panel (CISP) was ready to deal with any complaints that may have arisen.
A representative of the CISP at the press conference mentioned that a few candidates who has been nominated such as Harare West nominees Joanna Mamombe and Vongai Tome.
