Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Nine National Assembly representatives who were elected during the 09 December by-elections took the oath of office on Thursday afternoon at the New Parliament building in Mount Hampden.<\/p>\n

The National Assembly Representatives who took their oath are Nketa Constituency\u2019s Albert Mavunga (ZANU PF), Cowdray Park Constituency\u2019s Arthur Mujeyi (ZANU PF), Bulawayo South\u2019s Raj Modi and Lobengula-Magwegwe\u2019s Chitura Tendayi Nyathi (CCC).<\/p>\n

For Matabeleland North, Phathisiwe Machangu (ZANU PF) who won the Lupane East seat and Chineke Muchimba (ZANU PF) from Binga North were sworn in.<\/p>\n

In Matabeleland South Thusani Ndou (ZANU PF) National Assembly member for Beitbridge West and Pedzai Sakupwanya (ZANU PF) for Mabvuku Constituency were sworn in.<\/p>\n

The by-elections were necessitated by the recall of CCC MPs in October by Sengezo Tshabangu, who claims to be the party\u2019s interim secretary general.<\/p>\n

CCC, under the leadership of Nelson Chamisa, won all the nine seats in the August 2023 general elections.<\/p>\n

The recalled MPs were barred from contesting by the High Court and all the CCC candidates who participated in the by-elections were sponsored by Tshabangu.<\/p>\n
