Prof Mutambara, who cited divisions and disharmony among the party members over positions at the congress, has withdrawn his candidature for nominations being done in the provinces in preparation for the congress.
“I think it is important they be given the opportunity to lead the party. We feel that five years have been long enough a period to provide leadership to this party and the time has come to hand over the baton to another individual.
“I hope that my withdrawal from these elections will encourage other members to unite and concentrate on building the party,” Prof Mutambara told The Herald last night.-The Herald
