The MDC leadership has resolved that the newly elected mayor of Masvingo, Collin Maboke steps down, as party procedures were not followed.

Speaking to Hevoi FM News, MDC provincial chairperson, James Gumbi says the party leadership including party president, Nelson Chamisa, resolved at a meeting held in Harare last week, that some seven MDC councilors in Masvingo, voted along faction lines and therefore Maboke should step down as mayor.
MDC chairperson Morgan Komichi told Hevoi FM News that the party resolved that ward 5 councillor,Daniel Mberikunashe should take up the position of mayor of the city.

Maboke declined to comment on the matter.

The seven MDC councilors in the city caused an uproar among party supporters, after electing Zanu PF councilor, Welington Mahwende as the deputy mayor.
There are seven MDC councilors and three Zanu councilors in the city.
