Roger Dung retained as PAP President

By Paul Nyathi|Zimbabwe’s Fortune Charumbira has lost the election to be President of the Pan African Parliament.

Charumbira lost to Cameroonian Roger Nkondo Dung in an election held on Thursday. Dung polled 132 votes against Charumbira’s 47.

Charumbira whose candidacy was heavily resisted by the majority of Zimbabweans was endorsed to contest by the ruling ZANU PF.

Charumbira who is also the President of the Chiefs Council of Zimbabwe lost favour from Zimbabweans after he declared that all chiefs will mobilise for a ZANU PF victory in the upcoming elections.

He has since been ordered by the High Court to withdraw his statement and apologise to the nation for breaching the constitution which blocks chiefs from partisan politics.
