By Paul Nyathi|National People’s Party strongman and National Chairman Dzikamai Mavhaire has also resigned from the troubled party led by former Vice President Joice Mujuru.

Mavhaire becomes the fourth top official of the party to quit within the last two days sending warnings that the party could be on its way to oblivion.

Mavhaire joins party Vice President Samuel Sipepa Nkomo who resigned together with National Spokesperson Jefferson Chitando on Monday. The two were immediately followed by Gilbert Dzikiti a principal to the People’s Rainbow Coalition which Mujuru leads.

While Nkomo and Chitando announced their return to the MDC Alliance, Dzikiti went back to his original home in the ruling ZANU PF.

Mavhaire who founded the NPP with Mujuru after splitting from ZANU PF in 2015 tendered his resignation to Mujuru without stating his next move.

In a letter dated 11 September 2018, Mavhaire writes: “I hereby resign from the National People’s Party as national chairman and member of the party. It was a pleasure working together as a team.”

ZimEye.com efforts to get a comment from Mujuru on the spate of resignations from the party have not yet been successful.
