War veterans spokesperson Douglas Mahiya who lost the Zanu-PF Primary Election for Harare South twice to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s nephew Tongai (pictured), has accused the Zanu-PF elections committee of selective application of rules. In an interview with The Standard, Mahiya said
I think the committee that ran the primary elections did a shoddy job. People are only a party when they respect their own constitution. When this is not done, they have failed. For example, one should have been in the party for five consecutive years, but my opponent in Harare South only joined the party structures in March this year and was allowed to stand. The laws in the party must apply to everybody equally. It is difficult to talk about democracy when laws are applied selectively.
I think it could have been gentlemen enough for those in the committee to resign. Now we have a problem in the party, that the provincial executives are trying to reconcile party members, but the people who created the problems are no longer available in the constituencies.
Feedback…The president never summoned me to hear my side of the story. His problem is, he does not intervene when some people under him do something. He gives people [numerous] chances to make sure they expose themselves. The commission that ran the elections had regulations, which they disregarded. They could have done something sensible. The president acts after receiving the evidence, but sometimes it will be too late.
