Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC)\u2019s former MP for Binga North Prince Dubeko Sibanda<\/b> has called for a \u201crevolution\u201d after 15 of the party\u2019s lawmakers were controversially recalled.<\/p>\n

Sibanda, who is among the 15 MPs recalled by self-proclaimed CCC Interim Secretary General Sengezo Tshabangu<\/b>, said the recalls should not be allowed to continue.<\/p>\n

Sibanda who was elected MP for Binga North in 2018 on an MDC Alliance ticket, was recalled by the MDC-T in 2020 but went on to reclaim the seat under CCC in the March 2022 by-elections. He posted on X:<\/p>\n

On October 1, 2020, they recalled me for ceasing to be a member of the MDC-A, which I won in 2018. We left it and formed CCC.<\/p>\n

I won by-elections on March 26, 2022, under CCC. I did so again in the general elections on August 23, 2023. Today, they recalled us again. It\u2019s time for a revolution.Are you a Civil Servant or Pensioner in Zimbabwe? <\/b><\/p>\n

ZimLive reported that all the 15 representatives have gone to court seeking an order declaring that Tshabangu has no legal standing to recall them and that they should remain in parliament.<\/p>\n

The publication cited a CCC insider as saying CCC leader Nelson Chamisa is ready to withdraw all his party\u2019s elected representatives in protest at the latest developments.<\/p>\n

Chamisa had earlier written to the Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda, who received Tshabangu\u2019s letter on 03 October, urging him to ignore the former MDC-T Matabeleland North chairman.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tshabangu wrote another letter to the Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, Winston Chitando on 03 October recalling 17 councillors saying they had ceased to be members of the CCC.<\/p>\n

12 of the councillors are from Bulawayo, two of the councillors are from Matabeleland South, one from Matabeleland North, and the remaining are Epworth Town Board chairperson Annah Sande<\/b> and Masvingo\u2019s first female mayor Shantel Chiwara<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The CCC has no formal membership and no leadership structure in place except for its leader and appointed spokespersons.<\/p>\n

Political analysts suggest Tshabangu exploited the party\u2019s \u201cambiguity\u201d to claim a powerful position for himself after submitting a purported CCC constitution to Mudenda.<\/p>\n

Tshabangu allegedly previously used the same tactic with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to cause the double nomination of CCC candidates in August\u2019s polls.<\/p>\n

If the courts rule in favour of Tshabangu in the fight, it opens the possibility that he can expel Chamisa from the party he founded in March 2022, and receive all funding due to the party under the Political Parties (Finances) Act.<\/p>\n
