President Emmerson Mnangagwa has revealed that the country will hold by-elections in the first three months of next year to fill vacancies created in the national assembly and local authorities.

Mnangagwa was addressing thousands of Zanu PF supporters in Chimanimani this Wednesday.

There are 28 National Assembly and 105 local authority vacancies across the country, following the expulsion and death of some members.

The Government had suspended the holding of by-elections as part of a set of measures to curtail the spread of the highly contagious Covid-19 disease.
