It has come to our attention that as of March 17 2021, Tendai Biti, Vice President of the MDC Alliance, has been recalled from Parliament. This news was delivered by the Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda who received a notice to this effect from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
This decision was made possible on Thursday by a ruling by the High Court judge, Justice Sylvia Chirawu-Mugomba. The ruling stated that the PDP faction led by Lucia Matibenga had the power to recall the party’s MPs and councilors who have joined the post-election MDC Alliance.
Some parliamentarians were displeased with this decision. Among the displeased is Harare Mayor, Jacob Mafume, a part of the PDP faction. Mafume told th emedia that they had since appealed against the High Court ruling at the Supreme Court.
Tendai Biti was not the only member to be recalled. He was accompanied out of parliament by Hon William Madzimure(Kambuzuma), Hon Settlement Chikwinya(Mbizo), Hon Regai Tsunga (Mutasa South Constituency), and Hon Phulu Kucaca (Nkulumane).
