Former Movement for Democratic Change-Tsvangirai, Vice President Engineer Elias Mudzuri, has laughed off claims by the MDC-Alliance that he has been expelled from the party.

In a communiqué, the party said: “The MDC Alliance has noted that Morgen Komichi, Douglas Mwonzora and Elias Mudzuri have decided to cooperate with ZANU-PF and the state.

“They therefore have expelled themselves from the MDC Alliance and are forthwith relieved of their positions and membership in the party. They are further withdrawn from all positions to which they had been deployed by the party. Replacements have been made and shall be announced in due course.”

In response, Mudzuri, whose vice-presidency in the party was also ruled illegal, tweeted:

“How can I be fired from Parliament by a non – existent political party?

“Ncube (Welshman) fired Tsvangirai (2005) but the party remained Biti (2014) did the same but left the party intact Today(2020) Sikhala fires us but still the party shall remain Let’s go for the Extraordinary Congress.” said Mudzuri in his Twitter page.

Addressing journalists yesterday, MDC-Alliance deputy national chairperson, Mr Job Sikhala said the party’s national standing committee had resolved not to participate in all activities of Parliament by its legislators pending further consultation with a view to withdraw from the august House.

He said the party will not countenance the wishes of individual MPs such as their financial benefits like vehicles and salary.

“This is in the interest of the people and not the interest of individuals,” said Mr Sikhala.

“All MDC-Alliance MPs will forthwith suspend all participation in Parliament and disengage from all platforms in which the party has to interact with Zanu PF pending consultations with the relevant constituencies of the party, that is the electorate and Zimbabweans at large on the decision for a total withdrawal from Parliament.”
