A weekend of victories
The MDC's Japhet Ndabeni-Ncube retained his mayoral post in Zimbabwe's second city, Bulawayo over the weekend. In an election marked by low voter turnout, Ncube polled 29,575 votes outclassing ZANU-PF's Dickson Abu Basutu who only garnered 5,509 votes. Only 10.1% of Bulawayo's registered voters turned out for the election, signalling people's loss of confidence in politics. The outcome of the election was good news for the MDC who lost the March parliamentaries and have been rocked by infighting.
