Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Nelson Chamisa prevailed in the 26 March By-elections winning 75 out of 122 (61.5%) council seats and 19 out of 28 (68%) Parliamentary seats that were up for grabs.<\/p>\n

The party\u2019s overall performance was 64.75%.<\/p>\n

The rest were won by the ruling ZANU PF.<\/p>\n

Out of the 28 parliamentary seats that were up for grabs, 20 were won by the opposition MDC Alliance in 2018 of which 18 fell vacant by recalls (by MDC-T), 2 by death.<\/p>\n

Of the 28 Parliamentary seats, ZANU PF won 7 in 2018 of which 5 fell vacant by death, 1 by a recall and 1 by resignation.<\/p>\n

The remaining 1 was won by the National Patriotic Front and it fell vacant by death.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MDC-T leader, Senator Douglas Mwonzora has recalled 16 more councillors.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the recalls, exiled Political Science Professor, Jonathan Moyo, suggested that councillors that were elected under the MDC Alliance banner in 2018 and are pro-Chamisa, should all resign. Said the former Information minister:<\/p>\n

\u2026 why are MPs & Councillors elected as MDC-A in 2018 and are now #CCC still clinging to MDC-A seats, as @DMwonzora holds them hostage? Why not resign en masse before it\u2019s too late?<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that Mwonzora intends to recall more councillors who are being accused of ceasing to be members of the MDC-T.<\/p>\n
