Jane Mlambo| The National Patriotic Front (NPF) has issued a strongly worded statement lashing out at Ambrose Mutinhiri who appeared in the media today claiming the movement had disbanded and retraced roots back to Zanu PF.

According to Jealousy Mawarire who signed the NPF statement, Mutinhiri had no jurisdiction nor powers to convene a meeting and pass resolution on behalf of the party since he was recalled from his position as President.

“The NPF founding Executive Committee on June 07 2018, net in Harare and resolved to recall Mr Mutinhiri from his position as interim president of the party and that decision was communicated at a press conference attended by the party Chairperson Hon Eunice Sandi Moyo, Secretary General Shadreck Mashayamombe, National Political Commissar, Jeppy Jaboon …

“On 13 July 2018, the party formally communicated its position to recall Mr Mutinhiri in a letter copied to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission Chief Election Officer, Utoile Silaigwana,” said Mawarire.

He added that they are not surprised that Mutinhiri after meeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced the disbanding of the party saying NPF takes his rumblings as coming from a clueless individual induced to make such claims by a few pieces of silver he was promised by Zanu PF.
