The unfolding
events in Zanu PF have generated considerable debate given that
the ruling party that has been refuting allegations of internal
factionalism for the last five years.
The existence of factionalism has also been confirmed by Simba Makoni's
announcement of his intention to challenge President Robert Mugabe
in the harmonized elections on 29 March 2008.
Primary elections
in Zanu PF have widened the divisions in the ruling party. When
the nomination court sat on 15 February it became obvious that in

represent the ruling party. In addition, some party heavy weights
lost in the primary elections and there has been a noticeable increase
in the number of independent candidates, some of whom lost in the
Zanu PF primary elections.
