By Paul Nyathi|MDC-T Acting National Chairman Morgan Komichi has told state run ZBC News that he has met with want out Harare West legislature Jessie Majome on her decision to contest national elections as an independent candidate and risk being dismissed from the party.

In an interview with the news broadcaster on Tuesday, Komichi said that he had engaged with Majome and is hopeful that their deliberations will yield positive results.

“I met with Honourable Majome and she narrated to me all her concerns which we noted and our discussions there after are promising a positive outcome,” said Komichi.

Komichi who is chairing the party candidates identification process said that the party will not go against the will of the people by importing candidates into their constituencies.

“We are a democratic party and we will not impose candidates into constituencies against the will of the people,” said Komichi.

“We have engaged with Majome and are very positive that her issue will be looked into and a positive result achieved,” he said.

Speaking to the same media in a different interview, Majome expressed ignorance on the talks which Komichi said will yield positive results.

“I met Senator Komichi very briefly on Monday to which he told me that he had not been aware of my withdrawal from taking part in the primary elections, claiming that he only saw it in the media,” said Majome.

“I told him that I had submitted my letter to the Secretary General three days prior after which I gave gave him a copy of the letter.

“We went through the contents of the letter together and he only said he was going to come back to me and I have not heard from him,” said Majome.

Komichi’s sentiments come in the background of reports that party members in Harare West are mobilising to march to the party headquarters to demonstrate against the treatment being directed to their parliamentarian by the party.

There are also reports that senior women party members have put pressure on Chamisa to negotiate with Majome.
