THE ruling Zanu PF party is set to implode in Murewa South constituency after reports of senior party officials in Mashonaland East province trying to rewrite cell registers despite the exercise being over.
NewsDay is reliably informed that a group of top provincial members recently held a meeting at Waterloo, where they announced their intention to redo the cell registration exercise.
The move is, however, being resisted by other party members, especially those in the district co-ordinating committee (DCC) who have since written to provincial leaders protesting the move.
Murewa district has three constituencies and recorded a total of 1 628 cells after the exercise.
Murewa South has the highest number of cells at 598, followed by Murewa North at 542, with Murewa West getting 488.
“The cell registration and verification exercise went on well and the cell registers have been send to the party headquarters,” a party insider said.
“Despite Murewa South having the highest number of cells, we were shocked to note some members announcing that the process has to be redone.
“We are not aware of the motive, but the move is being resisted.”
