*Fadzayi Mahere Officially Resigns From Parliament Amidst CCC Leadership Crisis* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?jy Fadzayi Mahere, a Member of Parliament (MP) representing the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party in the Mount Pleasant constituency, has officially resigned from parliament. In a letter addressed to the Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Mudenda, dated January 29, 2024, Mahere did not provide a specific reason for her resignation. In a letter seen by Pindula News, Mahere simply states her intention to resign in accordance with section 129(1)(b) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. Read the letter in part: *RE: RESIGNATION FROM PARLIAMENT* > Dear Sir I confirm that I was sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Mt Pleasant Constituency on the 7th of September 2023 under the Citizens’ Coalition for Change political party. I hereby tender written notice of my resignation from Parliament with immediate effect in accordance with section 129(1)(b) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. > Yours faithfully > Fadzayi Mahere Last week, Mahere announced her decision to resign from parliament after the party leader, Nelson Chamisa, left the CCC, alleging infiltration and sabotage by the ruling party, ZANU PF, and its allies in the CCC. In her announcement, which was previously published by Pindula News, Mahere expressed her unwillingness to be associated with individuals who had aligned “with a corrupt dictatorship.” She wrote to the Mount Pleasant Constituency: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- > You chose me to represent you on a platform of values which are no longer at the heart of the CCC. I cannot remain a representative of a party whose leadership is unknown to me and whose motives and values remain opaque. I would be failing you if I held onto a position that will no longer serve the best interests of our community. > The CCC that I joined is not the CCC that we have left today. I cannot in good conscience be aligned to individuals who have caused unimaginable harm to the people by aligning themselves with a corrupt dictatorship. > I also cannot partner with persons who are willing to undo the will of the people and hand over seats that citizens stood in line for hours to vote for just to score cheap political points. This is not who I am or who I aspire to be. > The struggle for a democratic society should never be sacrificed at the altar of expediency. I remain committed to the cause of a better Zimbabwe. This is not an end but merely a line in the sand. While Mahere has taken a decisive step in resigning, other MPs within the CCC have indicated that they will consult their respective constituencies before making a decision. These include Agency Gumbo (Hatcliffe), Caston Matewu (Marondera Central) and Richard Tsvangirai (Norton). The CCC parliamentary caucus is expected to convene this week to discuss the situation arising from the disputed recalls of MPs, councillors, and mayors by Sengezo Tshabangu, the CCC’s disputed secretary-general. *More Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
