By Jane Mlambo| Presidential spokesperson George Charamba has shut the year 2020 by announcing that the newly elected MDC-T President Douglas Mwonzora cannot replace his now deputy Thokozani Khupe as the leader of opposition in Parliament.

Charamba said leader of opposition was reserved for the most senior person in the lower House which effectively means Khupe’s position will not be threatened by the recent leadership changes in her party.

There were claims that Mwonzora was planning to take over the leader of the opposition in Parliament from Khupe.

“All ye citizens of Political Society, know thee that Leader of the Opposition title goes to a Lower House representative of the next major political party after the ruling party. Not a holder of Senatorial position!!!! Ndini hangu ndadaro,” said Charamba through his Jamwanda2 Twitter account.
