The MDC led by Welshman Ncube has excluded legislator Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga from its list of party candidates to contest in the forthcoming harmonised elections.
In an interview with The Chronicle yesterday, MDC spokesman Mr Kurauone Chihwayi said Misihairabwi-Mushonga had not applied for consideration together with the other three sitting MPs. Said Chihwayi:
Honourable Misihairabwi is not on the list because she did not apply as far as we are concerned. The former secretary general is not on the list because she did not apply just like the other three sitting legislators. We don’t have permanent seats or special treatment for anyone. The MDC does not have a different approach for some individuals or sitting Members of Parliament.
In a Facebook post, Misihairabwi-Mushonga reacted to positively her exclusion and wished the selected candidates well. She also thanked the party for giving her the chance to be part of the Government of National Unity (GNU) and the Constitution making process. Misihairaibwi-Mushonga has openly come out in support of Thokozani Khupe.
