I Will Not Join Another Party Says Jessie Majome After Withdrawing From MDC-T Primaries

Harare West MP Jessie Majome who has withdrawn from the MDC-T primary elections has said that she is not willing to join another political party. She also seems to have ruled out returning to the MDC-T saying that the primary elections will not be free or fair. In an interview with NewsDay, Majome said,

What I have done is to withdraw my candidature from the party primary elections. I have several options, but I am not intending to join anybody. However, as a citizen of Zimbabwe, I am considering and looking at what it is that I want to do. I still want to contribute to Harare West. I just thought I should let things go for now and think clearly about my next move. I will advise my constituents because everything I do is in their behalf. When I make the decision and I will do so before the coming elections, I will communicate this publicly.

…I have made up my mind and also the nature of some of my concerns are long-term. Like, from last year, they have been telling all sitting MPs that they would not be contested and I am not sure how this will be reversed. For me, I am done and they can go ahead and have the primaries. I am no longer interested because as far as I am concerned, they will not be free and fair.
