An MDC MP was allegedly assaulted by party youths as supporters clashed over selection of candidates.

“Honourable Prosper Mutseyami was attacked in Mutare yesterday.

The candidate selection programme was disrupted by senior party officials,” party sources alleged.

” Chairman Chimhini, Lynette Kore, Joyce Makonya, Wirimai Mkwishu, Itai Masaka, Tatenda Nhamarare and one Mr Tekeshe decided to defy the national directive and went on to conduct primary elections in all the wards in Chikanga/Dangamvura including ward 17 – which had already been done a week earlier.

As if that was not enough the cabal held a meeting at a private venue and planned a manhunt to attack the national leaders who had been deployed to conduct the election the next day.

More so they planned to attack fellow party officials, Hon Gonese and Hon Mutseyami.

Later in the evening they deployed thugs who followed the national team to town. They were driving a white Honda CRV,”added the party sources.

When Hon Mutseyami went outside to answer his phone he was hit on the forehead with an iron rod by an unknown man and he collapsed.

The thug took his car keys and his Iphone7 and drove off at high speed,”added the sources.
