Harare West member of parliament, Jessie Majome has denied claims that the MDC-T offered her a Senate seat while trying to negotiate with her. Majome insisted that she is going to run as an independent as the opposition party had ignored her concerns about irregularities in primary elections. Speaking at a press conference, Majome said
There had been reports that I had been offered a Senate seat or Proportionate Representative in the National Assembly. It is simply not true that the MDC-T ever negotiated with me regarding my decision withdrawing from the sham election. At no point did the party negotiate with me.
…(Morge) Komichi and (Presidential Chief of Staff Sesel) Zvidzai never engaged me at all besides being available to them to resolve the matter. They ignored me and kept referring me back and forth to each other…After all the suffering Zimbabweans have gone through for the past 38 years, it is so sad that we find ourselves in such positions where leadership imposes candidates against the will of people.
