The clerk of Parliament Kennedy Chokuda just after Thokozani Khupe bounced back in parliament in October said:

Ask the politicians. The position of leader of the opposition in the House has always been recognised, from way back, you recall Gibson Sibanda. The post is there in Parliament and the leader of the opposition is consulted when business is done.

Meanwhile, the Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziymabi has said Nelson Chamisa was never offered the position of the leader of the opposition in parliament contrary to popular reports claiming otherwise.
