Terrence Mawawa|MDC Alliance Provincial Chairperson James Gumbi has said the party’ s position on the stepping down of Masvingo Mayor Collen Maboke has not changed.

In an interview with a local community radio station Gumbi said as far as he was concerned, the position had not changed.

The MDC Alliance Nelson leadership ordered Maboke to relinquish the mayoral post after he was accused of conniving with Zanu PF councillors to elect a deputy mayor from the ruling party. However Maboke has not indicated any intentions of stepping down.

“The party position on the stepping down of Maboke has not changed. Daniel Mberikunashe is our mayor elect- that’s the party stance,” Gumbi told the radio station.
