Harare West MP Jessie Majome has withdrawn from MDC-T primary elections citing irregularities. Majome said people are not following the rules that are set out by the party. Said Majome:

What I have done is to withdraw myself from the race for the party ticket because that race is an extremely unfair race that makes it not a race at all.

In my view it more or less become like a game of chance and lottery. The rules are changing every time and its extremely difficult to participate in something like that with a clear and open conscience.

When asked if she will contest as an independent candidate, Majome said she will leave the decision to Harare West residents. Majome won the seat in 2008 and 2013.

SUPERMODEL Rairo Chengetai Gunguwo has walked off the ramp into the world of politics, as she has set her eyes on the Seke parliamentary seat held by Zanu PF legislator, Phineas Chiota, ahead of the forthcoming harmonised elections.

The 27-year-old former Miss Universities first princess (2012) and holder of a politics and public management degree yesterday told NewsDay Life & Style that although she was turning to politics, she would not toss away her modelling career.

Gunguwo said politics would, however, enable her to break barriers and open doors for young people aspiring to serve their communities and she wanted to play a role in her “generation’s struggle”.

Gunguwo said getting into politics as an independent candidate was an obligation to her generation that was desperate for a better Zimbabwe.
