The Douglas Mwonzora-led MDC-T has reversed the recall of its two councillors in the Manyame Rural District Council (RDC).

MDC-T has since requested the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to call off by-elections in the two wards that had been set for September.

The two councillors are Blessing Tangwara-Werd and Cly Tichana Munhunepi.

In a letter to Manyame RDC, Local Government Minister July Moyo said there were no longer any vacancies in wards 1 and 8. The letter read in part:

> Following my communication to your office notifying you of the suspension of the below-listed councillors, kindly be advised that I have further received communication from the party rescinding the suspensions.

> Be hereby advised that the positions of these councillors remain unchanged as instructed by the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party. Your co-operation is appreciated.

ZEC confirmed on Wednesday that it had cancelled by-elections for the two wards after the rescission of the recall of the incumbents by their sponsoring party. ZEC said in a statement:

> It is further notified that the advertised vacancies for Manyame Rural District Council Wards 1 and 8 are no longer in existence following the rescission of the recall of the incumbents by their sponsoring party.

> Accordingly, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission advises that all electoral processes in relation to the advertised by-elections have been cancelled with immediate effect.

Mwonzora has recalled scores of councillors since 2020 but failed to regain a single ward in the 26 March by-elections and subsequent by-elections.
