Tracy Mutinhiri has written a letter to opposition MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa, announcing her resignation from the party with immediate effect.
Mutinhiri joined the MDC in 2012 following her expulsion from the ruling ZANU PF in August 2011 amidst allegations that she had defied party directives.
The former Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Welfare under Robert Mugabe also once served as the political commissar for the Zanu-PF Women’s League and as Zanu-PF legislator for Marondera East.
She is a former wife of a ZANU PF official, Retired Brigadier-General Ambrose Mutinhiri.
Mutinhiri was one of the three female candidates for the Vice Presidency in the MDC, a post that was won by Lynette Karenyi-Kore at the party’s congress that was held in June last year.
See her resignation letter below.
Some MDC supporters have often raised concern over the reception of former ZANU PF officials into the party saying that this makes the party vulnerable to infiltration as “former ZANU PF” officials were likely to remain “ZANU PF at heart.”
