HARARE – Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) commander, General Constantino
Chiwenga, is seen standing a good chance of being elevated straight from
the barracks to become one of the two vice presidents at Zanu PF’s
extraordinary congress scheduled for this month, the Daily News can
report.

At the special congress, Emmerson Mnangagwa will be endorsed as the
party’s president and first secretary, in the wake of the decision by Zanu
PF’s central committee to recall ex-president, Robert Mugabe from the high
pressure office, and have him replaced by Mnangagwa.

While Mnangagwa’s endorsement will be a matter of formality, there is
fierce jostling for vacant posts in the party, particularly for the two
vice presidents.
