A political heavyweight in the Movement for Democratic Change has suddenly pulled out of the Masvingo Urban Constituency Primary election.

Prominent businessman and MDC National Executive member Takanayi Mureyi stunned all and sundry yesterday when he unexpectedly announced his decision to pull out of the Masvingo Urban Constituency primary election.

” I have decided to pull out of the race because of pressing commitments.I have decided to give other candidates a chance to contest in the primary election.

As you know, I am a member of the National Executive so I have to attend to more challenging tasks,” said Mureyi.

However party sources claimed the politician chickened out of the race because he was afraid of being humiliated in the election.
