In the 2008 election, the constituency elected MDC member Misheck Marava as senator. He won with 24,202 votes while Zanu PF's Amoth Chingombe polled 18,578 and an independent Moffat Mufuka got 1,296. The campaign also brought electoral violence to the district, when two MDC activists were killed by ZANU PF members at the MDC's campaign office in Zaka.[1]
