In the Women's wing Molly Mpofu replaced Ms Ataliya Mangoye while Oppah Ncube replaced Ms Violet Ncube.

Speaking after the elections, the party's provincial chairman Dr Callistus Ndlovu said there were no more Central Committee vacancies in Bulawayo.

"The Central Committee vacancies have all been filled and now it's time to focus on campaigns. We'll inform the national executive of the developments as well as submit the list of new members. We can now focus on the elections and everybody must work hard during the campaigns to ensure the party wins resoundingly," said Dr Ndlovu.

The powers and functions of the Central Committee include making rules, regulations and procedures to govern the conduct of the party and its members, implement policies, resolutions, directives, decisions and programmes.

It can also amend the party constitution, subject to ratification by a congress.
