Close to two hundred Bulawayo residents have expressed interest in running for the 29 council seats in the upcoming 23 August elections.
According to a preliminary list of successful candidates who successfully filed their nomination papers on Wednesday, about 192 candidates sailed through.
Some of the candidates who made the cut include former Education minister David Coltart who is the Ward 4 candidate for the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).
Coltart is reportedly eyeing the mayor position.
Former Habbakuk Trust director Dumisani Nkomo will also represent CCC in Ward 5. If elected, he is likely to be appointed Coltart’s deputy according to reports.
Popular musician Sandra Ndebele-Sibindi also sailed through and will represent Zanu PF in Ward 20.
Some of the current serving councillors are likely to bounce back after having their papers accepted.
They include Donaldson Mabuto, Sikhululekile Moyo, Tinevimbo Maposa, Mzama Dube, Edwin Ndlovu, Arnold Batirai Dube and Kidwell Mujuru.
