US EditionZimbabwe opposition leader demands the reinstatement of party lawmakers kicked out of Parliament
- Nelson Chamisa, Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, has called for the reinstatement of 15 opposition lawmakers who were removed from their positions based on a fraudulent letter sent to the Parliament speaker. Chamisa believes their removal is an attempt by the ruling party to silence the opposition.
- The issue has increased political tension in Zimbabwe since the disputed elections in August, where President Emmerson Mnangagwa won a second term. Chamisa rejects the election results as fraudulent and accuses Mnangagwa and his party of post-election intimidation and violence.
- While Mnangagwa's party, ZANU-PF, retained its parliamentary majority, it did not secure a two-thirds majority needed to change the constitution, potentially allowing Mnangagwa to stay on as leader beyond two terms. This has led to a boycott of parliamentary business by the opposition, widening the political divide.
