Concern over expulsion of opposition MPs
THE US government said it was troubled by the recall of popular Zimbabwean opposition figure Tendai Biti, the MDC-Alliance vice-president and Member of Parliament for Harare East, along with other MPs who were ousted from the Zimbabwean parliament after their party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), said they no longer represented it.
Last week, Speaker of the National Assembly in Zimbabwe Jacob Mudenda announced the expulsion of Biti and other parliamentarians after he received a letter from Benjamin Rukanda, secretary-general of Biti’s old party, the PDP.
