Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The co-vice president of the Citizens\u2019 Coalition for Change (CCC), Tendai Biti has said he will be going back to Parliament not as a representative of the MDC Alliance but as a member of the CCC.<\/p>\n

Justice Chitapi Tuesday ordered the reinstatement of Biti, the MP for Harare East; William Madzimure of Kambuzuma; Chikwinya of Mbizvo; Kucaca Ivumile Phulu of Nkulumane; Sichelesile Mahlangu of Pumula and Regai Tsunga of Mutasa South who had been expelled based on a 2020 Supreme Court ruling.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the development, Biti said:<\/p>\n

Good morning citizens. #ZANU & its puppets unlawfully booted us out of Parliament for exposing corruption We go back to Parliament as the yellow brigade \u2066@CCCZimbabwe\u2069. We are not MDC Alliance. We will never sell out to #ZANU or its nihilists puppets . #ANewGreatZimbabwe<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Alex Tawanda Magaisa, a former Chief in the office of a former Prime Minister, the late Morgan Tsvangirai, said the court outcome could be a strategy by the ruling ZANU PF to cause problems in the newly formed Citizens\u2019 Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa.<\/p>\n

The UK-based law lecturer said the development \u201cdoesn\u2019t do CCC any favours at all.\u201d Magaisa said:<\/p>\n

\u2026 the 6 MPs will remain in parliament as the PDP element of the old MDC Alliance. Yet, CCC has just launched as a new entity.<\/p>\n

He added that it will be awkward for CCC to have members that are also still identified as MDC Alliance or PDP (formed by Tendai Biti.)<\/p>\n
