ZIFA president Phillip Chiyangwa and his deputy Omega Sibanda who running for parliamentary seats under Zanu-PF have indicated that they will are seeking re-election for their current positions. Their allies have also backed them. Mashonaland West Zifa chairperson Derick Matapure said,
One of the reasons I am going to seek re-election is because we have to stand by Philip Chiyangwa and vote him back into office, he needs our vote. He has proven to be a good leader and certainly deserves another term. On the personal front, I am confident of bouncing back into office because of the good, traceable work I have done.
When I came into office we only had two teams in the first division, while we had no representation in the premier league. However, now we have two teams in the Premier League and eight teams in the first division.
