Chinhoyi is one of the five districts where elections were postponed until after the April party congress held in Bulawayo following some disturbances.
Three people were seriously injured after violence broke out at Chinhoyi Hall where the elections were being held.
Two factions known as Zvinguruve, which reportedly backs former organising secretary Elias Mudzuri and Zvipani, that supports secretary general Tendai Biti were accused of igniting the violence.
Eddy Kadewere (Zvipani) and Martha Mataruse (Zvinguruve) were vying for the district chairperson’s post. Some victims of the violence filed a complaint with the police claiming that they were attacked by two councillors.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai is expected to address a rally in the town next week and there were rumours that it could be cancelled because of the disturbances.
MDC-T deputy publicity secretary Tabitha Khumalo referred questions to party spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora.
