Retired Colonel Claudious Makova, the ZimPF provincial co-ordinator, quit the party after ZimPF suffered a huge loss in their first election in the Bikita West by-election. Makova had reportedly assured ZimPF leader Joice Mujuru that the party would win the election, going against the advice of other party members. Over the weekend, however, ZimPF lost comprehensively after it garnered 2 453 votes compared to Zanu PF’s 13 156.
Makova confirmed his resignation although he claimed that it was not motivated by the election loss, but rather it was something that he had planned long before the election. Speaking to the Herald Makova said:
I am over 70 years old now and I cannot keep pace with young people. I have decided to take a back seat from active politics but this is not to say that I am leaving ZimPF. No, I will play an advisory role in the party as an elder.
FeedbackThere is no other ZimPF guru in Masvingo other than the gurus in the national leadership. The party as a whole, led by its national leadership, made a resolution to take part in the Bikita West election and we implemented the resolution.
Makova once served as the MP for Bikita West under Zanu PF.
