Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora plans to recall the party\u2019s suspended deputy president Thokozani Khupe after she announced an official split of the party on Friday.<\/p>\n

Mwonzora had suspended Khupe the previous day on several allegations which he said were the subject of an investigation.<\/p>\n

Mwonzora\u2019s spokesperson Lloyd Damba on Monday confirmed to NewsDay the plans to recall Khupe from Parliament where she is a proportional representation MP. Said Damba:<\/p>\n

There is nothing in the MDC-T called an official proclamation of a split.<\/p>\n

That alone as she is accusing Mwonzora of having flouted the constitution, she herself has done the same by announcing an official proclamation of a split when there is no such clause in the MDC-T constitution.<\/p>\n

Khupe is in Parliament because of the MDC Alliance brand. We are going to recall her, and she is going to court. We are going to smoke the enemy out.<\/p>\n

However, Khupe\u2019s spokesperson Ntando Ndlovu insisted that Mwonzora does not have the authority to recall his boss. He said:<\/p>\n

Douglas Mwonzora dismissed himself from MDC-T after writing to Zec on the 3rd of January informing it that he has formed a new party called MDC Alliance.<\/p>\n

It, therefore, follows that Mwonzora doesn\u2019t have any legal authority to recall anyone from Parliament.<\/p>\n

We implore Parliament and State institutions to exercise impartiality in discharging their duties by making sure that one faction cannot recall legislators who belong to another faction.<\/p>\n
