ZANU-PF parliament­ary candidate for Gokwe Mapfungaut­si Cde Tawanda Karikoga has reached out to MDC-T supporters in the constituen­cy as part of efforts to ensure a resounding victory for the revolution­ary party in the July 30 harmonised elections.

Cde Karikoga held a rally at Maphosa Village, Chief Chisina’s area, last weekend where he invited all villagers, including known MDC-T supporters to hear their concerns.

He told them that while they were entitled to vote for a political party of their choice, it was prudent to vote for a tried and tested party such as Zanu-PF for developmen­t.

“As we approach the harmonised elections, we need to take heed of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s call for a peaceful election,” said Cde Karikoga.

“No one should fight another because you belong to different political parties. We want to have peaceful elections, not only in this village or constituen­cy, but in the country as a whole.”

Cde Karikoga assured the people that he would serve everyone regardless of one’s political persuasion should he be voted as Member of Parliament for the constituen­cy.

“I will be an MP for everyone regardless of one’s political party. I will serve in an equal measure to those who might have not voted for me because an MP is a community leader for everyone, if I win the forthcomin­g election. It is important to reckon that Zanu-PF is a tried and tested party. It is a party of maturity.”

Cde Karikoga donated 200 bags of cement for the renovation of Ndabambi Primary School and pledged to help the community set up a secondary school.

He renovated an adjacent school, Maliami Primary School.

Cde Karikoga said while Zanu-PF had been winning in the constituen­cy, it had performed badly in Maphosa Village and he was determined that the ruling party will win in all the areas.
