Citizen Coalition for Change councillor Tonderai Chikwati won Kariba ward 5 by-elections.

The by-election was set to fill a vacancy left behind following the resignation of then CCC councillor, Tendai Mapondera, over criminal abuse of office charges.

Chikwati was going against Zanu-PF candidate Kudakwashe Mafusire.

Kariba Urban constituency has nine wards, in which CCC has eight and Zanu-PF only one.
