Jacob Mudenda Re-elected As Speaker Of Parliament

ZANU PF’s Jacob Mudenda was re-elected unopposed as the Speaker of the National Assembly on Friday morning at the New Parliament Building at Mount Hampden in Harare.

Zimbabwe has a bicameral Parliament that is divided into two separate houses, that is the National Assembly (Lower House) and the Senate (Upper House).

The two presiding officers took their oaths of office before Chief Justice Luke Malaba. The Parliament of Zimbabwe tweeted:

ZANU PF has turned up in numbers ahead of today’s elections of Presiding officers. Contrary, the Opposition CCC has absconded from today’s election.

Honorable Advocate J.F.N Mudenda has been duly elected Speaker of Parliament, there being no other contestants.
Concomitantly, there being no other contestant, Hon Tsitsi Gezi has been duly nominated Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Makorokoto Amhlophe!

ZANU PF commands a majority in the National Assembly after winning 136 seats against CCC’s 73 in Harmonised Elections held on 23 August 2023.

A by-election will be held in Gutu West after one of the candidates who had been nominated to contest in the constituency, Christopher Mutonhori Rwodzi, died a few weeks before the 23 August 2023 Harmonised Elections.

Following Rwodzi’s death, voters in the constituency only elected their preferred presidential candidate and councillors.

Old and wise, young and follish. A young univeristy graduate has no experience of real life. Who is President of the US and what is the age of the senators.

Same old $HIT. Just a different day. Expect no change & no hope for the next 5 years. CCC should not expect any reforms. When Zanu Pf wants a majority in parliament - three or four CCC MPs will die due to road traffic accidents or Cancer. Thokozani Khupe already has one foot in the grave. Very soon, Zanu Pf & CCC MPs will be discussing how much money each MP should be allocated in order to buy Off-Road 4X4s. Preferrebly a Wildtrack Raptor. On that day parliament will be fully attended. For the past 23 years, boycotting parliament has not yielded anything for the opposition. Boycotts have never stopped parliamentary business. In South Africa, the EFF & the DA never boycott parliament. They stay and fight until they are thrown out. That way, their objections will be placed on record in the Hansards...
