History

edit

In the March 2005 parliamentary election, the candidate of ZANU–PF, Sydney Sekeramayi, was declared the winner. This outcome was disputed.[citation needed]

In the 2018 election, Patrick Chidakwa of ZANU–PF was elected to represent the constituency.[1] Chidakwa died on 11 September 2020, and was replaced by Jeremiah Chiwetu, also of ZANU–PF, following a 26 March 2022 by-election.[2][3] ZANU–PF candidate Vimbayi Mutokonyi was elected to the seat in the 2023 election with 15,221 votes.[4]
