Mount Pleasant Member of Parliament Fadzayi Mahere has became the first Citizens Coalition for Change legislator to formally quit Parliament over Nelson Chamisa’s departure from party.
Mahere submitted her resignation letter to the Parliament Speaker Jacob Mudenda today (Monday 29 January 2024). Parliament will now have to declare the seat vacant, leading to a by-election.
The remaining CCC MPs are having a caucus on Tuesday to decide on their future in Parliament, and a statement will be released then, according to spokesman Promise Mkwananzi.
The question that everyone is asking, is if Mahere has thought this decision through, or its a hasty reaction as she blindly let Chamisa take her into Political Oblivion.
Some are alleging that Mahere is as power hungry as Chamisa and she has taken this decision, hoping for a more senior role in whatever political outfit brewing.
Zimba Wave will keep you abreast as the Chamisa pantomine unfolds.
