THE Zanu-PF Politburo meets today and is expected to discuss a number of issues as the ruling party prepares for general elections set for July.

In a statement yesterday, Zanu-PF Secretary for Informatio­n and Publicity Cde Simon Khaya Moyo confirmed the meeting.

“The Zanu-PF Secretary of Administra­tion Cde Dr Obert Mpofu is advising all Politburo members that there shall be an Ordinary Session on Wednesday 11th April, 2018 at the party headquarte­rs in Harare, commencing 1000hrs,” he said.

“All members are expected to attend.

“We will not disclose our agenda, but yes we are meeting tomorrow.”

The party is already gearing for elections, with provinces submitting curriculum vitaes for aspiring candidates to the party headquarte­rs in Harare on Monday in preparatio­n for the primary elections on May 5.

The ruling party is also in the process of verifying its cells.

Zanu-PF is set to unveil its 2018 election manifesto on Saturday, outlining its vision and aspiration­s for the nation.

President Mnangagwa is the ruling party’s presidenti­al candidate and has since pledged a free, fair and transparen­t election that will be monitored by the internatio­nal community.

Government has since approved a list of the observers.
