Disposed former National People’s Party National Spokesperson Jealous Mawarire has re-emerged in Zimbabwean politics this time as spokesperson of the new political party the National Patriotic Front.

Mawarire revealed himself as the spokesperson of the party in an interview with Voice Of America’s Studio Seven on Monday. The party is being spearheaded from the sidelines by former President Robert Mugabe.

Mawarire revealed that the party will be officially launched within the next few days in preparation for the upcoming elections.

Asked to reveal who the party leadership is, Mawarire would not disclose claiming that the party leadership will be disclosed at the launch.

Meanwhile, sources close to the party indicated that Retired Brigadier General Ambrose Mtinhiri who resigned from the ruling ZANU PF party last week has been seconded by Mugabe to lead the party in the interim.

Several former ZANU PF members who were in the G40 faction are reportedly part of the leadership of the party.

Former First Lady Grace Mugabe is expected to eventually take over the leadership of the party at some stage and be the presidential candidate for the party.
