Harare Ward 17 councillor, Jacob Mafume, has bounced back as the city’s Mayor, as CCC infighting and factionalism continues.
Mafume becomes the fourth Harare mayor in less than four months.
The former Harare mayor defeated Clr Elvis Ruzani, who was CCC leader Nelson Chamisa’s preferred candidate after being handpicked during the party’s internal caucus meeting.
Mafume pulled 22 votes against Clr Ruzani’s 15 while Zanu PF’s Temany Utete received 4 votes.
Mayor Mafume was elected having been overlooked twice after the August harmonised elections amid allegations of being condemned by Mr Chamisa who views him as a close ally to his political rivals.
He replaces recalled Lovejoy Chitengu, who was in office for less than a month taking over from Ian Makone who, had also been recalled due to serious divisions rocking the CCC.
