According
to
official
results
released
by
the
Zimbabwe
Electoral
Commission
(ZEC),
Delani
Moyo
of
Zanu
PF
emerged
victorious
in
Insiza
North
with
7,171
votes,
significantly
outpacing
his
closest
rival,
independent
candidate
Leslie
Dube,
who
garnered
1,187
votes.
Other
contenders
included
ZNRP’s
Mbongeni
Moyo
with
131
votes
and
ZAPU’s
Thabani
Mlotshwa,
who
received
114.
ZEC’s
declaration,
signed
by
the
constituency
elections
officer
on
14
June,
confirmed
Moyo
as
the
duly
elected
Member
of
Parliament
for
Insiza
North.
There
was
a
low
voter
turnout
which
stood
at
35.9%,
with
84
ballots
rejected.
In
Gutu
East,
Zanu
PF’s
Zarevashe
Masvingise
also
secured
a
landslide
victory.
There
were
194
votes
rejected
while
the
voter
turnout
stood
at
48.3%.
The
result
further
consolidates
Zanu
PF’s
parliamentary
dominance.
The
CCC,
once
Zimbabwe’s
main
opposition
force,
did
not
field
candidates
in
either
race,
maintaining
its
boycott
of
electoral
processes
it
alleges
are
rigged
in
favour
of
the
governing
Zanu
PF.
