The MDC Alliance parliamentary caucus is set to meet in Harare on Monday for a crisis meeting to decide the future of Alliance MPs in the National Assembly.
This was revealed by MDC Alliance deputy spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka in an interview with NewZimbabwe.com. He said:
The caucus itself is solid and united behind the people’s President, Nelson Chamisa and I know they (MPs) are meeting Monday to decide on the future of opposition parliamentarians in the National Assembly.
We are engaging everyone, the MPs themselves, and the relevant party organs. I am certain that the MDC Alliance MPs are true party cadres who will not drink from this poisoned Zanu PF chalice.
I doubt if there is anyone who will join these Zanu PF surrogates.
On Tuesday, National Assembly and Senate Speakers, Jacob Mudenda and Mabel Chinomona, respectively, expelled four MDC Alliance MPs, Charlton Hwende, Kuwadzana MP; Prosper Mutseyami, Chikanga/Dangamvura; the party’s national chairperson, Thabitha Khumalo; and Senator Lilian Timveous.
The expulsion followed a letter that reinstated MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora wrote to Parliament recalling the four legislators.
