As results of the Zanu PF primary elections conducted countrywide over the weekend trickle in, reports say over 10 top bigwigs beat the dust out of 18 constituencies making up the province.

Incumbent Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Senator Monica Mavhunga reportedly fell by the wayside in Bindura-Shamva where she was vying for the Senate representative’s seat against former State Security minister Nicholas Goche.
Other legislators who reportedly lost their seats include Campion Mugweni (Mazowe North), Girovah Dzapasi (Guruve North), sacked Energy minister and politburo member Fortune Chasi (Mazowe), Bramwell Seremwe (Mt Darwin West), Novert Muponora Mt Darwin North, Norman Marikisi (Mt Darwin East), Bramwell Bushu (Shamva South), Size Muzarabani South Kabozo Mt Darwin East, Chidamba Mazowe Central.
