Serial loser for Bikita West, Elias Musakwa, has not lost hope for the seat as he will also battle it out with Tichaona Mandebvu, Everson Machaya, incumbent Beauty Chabaya, Norman Mashata and Daniel Makusha.

Musakwa failed to win the seat and hopes to get it right this time around.

He was defeated in the primaries for the by-elections for the seat last year after the jailing of rapist Munyaradzi Kereke, who had won the constituency in the previous 2013 elections.

The announcement of the primary elections to be held next week has jolted the Zanu-PF aspiring candidates who have hit the campaign trail, with hordes campaigning in their respective constituencies openly.

Before the announcement of the approved candidates, they were campaigning clandestinely.
