MDC Alliance councillor, Jacob Mafume, has been elected as the new Mayor for Harare following an election held on Thursday.
He polled 19 votes against Luckson Mukunguma who had 14. Mafume replaces Hebert Gomba who was recently recalled by the MDC-T led by Thokozani Khupe.
Watch MDC Alliance supporters celebrate Jacob Mapfume’s victory.
The victory has been described by political analyst Pedzisai Ruhanya as a warning to Khupe of more embarassing defeats to the MDC Alliance ahead.
If Khupe, Mudzuri, Komichi and @DMwonzora can lose an elitist poll like this what about the battles ahead where us the voters will take part. Surely seeing out does not help. The masses, the people have a date with you @DMwonzora
