The endorsement was reached at a meeting held at Chiefs Hall in Mucheke suburb last week.
In the polls, the Mujuru faction — led by former Masvingo governor, Dzikamai Mavhaire — continued to lose ground to the Mnangagwa camp, under the stewardship of Higher and Tertiary Education minister, Stan Mudenge.
The Mnangagwa camp has so far grabbed four seats out of Masvingo’s seven districts.
In a press statement issued last week, Shamu, who is the Minister of Media, Information and Publicity said Zanu PF had only nullified the Chiredzi DCC polls. This was despite swirling complaints from the Mujuru faction that polls in most districts were not free and fair.
“The Chiredzi results were nullified due to gross irregularities. The province was asked to organise a re-run,” reads the press statement.
In Chiredzi, the polls were aborted following disagreements over the composition of the voters’ roll.
Shamu said the meeting unanimously agreed and accepted the results of DCC elections in Chivi, Bikita and Mwenezi districts.
He also called for the completion of other polls in Gutu and Bikita, which were abandoned.

The minister ordered elections in Masvingo South, which were aborted after rival Zanu PF factions clashed at Shumba Primary School. Police had to fire shots to disperse supporters of the rival factions, who pelted the school windows with stones.
For the Masvingo urban polls which were also marred by violence, Shamu ruled out a re-run, insisting he would dispatch a team to investigate the allegations of candidate imposition and “make recommendations accordingly”.
Mnangagwa and Mujuru are in a bitter struggle to strategically position themselves to succeed President Robert Mugabe in the event that he steps down.
