Chinamasa was then asked why the ruling party was holding by-elections when ZEC and the government suspended them and he responded and said anyone with a problem with that must take it up with the government: > We have been observing all the Covid-19 regulations, whether we go to our 2020 conference, these will be observed. If it does not, we will have to hold it as a virtual conference. > To my knowledge, as Zanu PF, we have already started preparing for our primaries. The postponement of by-elections came because of Covid-19. If you are querying whether it was proper or not, put that to government. > Regulations are issued by government. I do not see any double standards myself. When the situation is considered appropriate, the regulations will be relaxed to allow for primary by-elections to take place. > Let me be clear, Zanu PF is ready today for any by-elections. We are ready any day. We will proceed and continue with our primary elections. > The numbers were very small and the party had complied with the regulations of not having a gathering of not more than 100 people. Meanwhile Zanu PF indefinitely suspended Kwekwe primary by-elections after they turned blody when rival groups clashed and ZRP officers had to be called to difuse the violence.
