Energy Mutodi has alleged that 40 MDC Members of Parliament have refused to accept a directive by the Party Standing committee to withdraw their participation in parliamentary activities.

Posting on twitter, Mutodi said: “Commotion in MDC-Alliance as over 40 MDCT legislators disagree with decision to withdraw from Parliament. Chamisa also faces arrest for misappropriating party funds.”

This comes after Nelson Chamisa’s deputy national chairperson Job Sikhala on Thursday afternoon called for the MDC A MPs to “disengage” from Parliament.

He said, the parliamentary Caucus shall forthwith suspend its participation in all Parliamentary processes, programmes and activities pending the party’s consultations with its structures.

Sikhala said the party is awaiting the final resolution of the National Council on the way forward given the ZANUPF insidious attempted coup against the elected and legitimate leadership of the MDC Alliance.
