Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has announced that his party will be disengaging from Parliament and local authorities following the controversial recall of 15 CCC legislators by Sengezo Tshabangu, who claims to be the party's interim secretary general.

Speaking during a press conference in Harare, the opposition leader gave a two-week ultimatum to have the matter resolved.

He said the party has informed key stakeholders, both national and international, about the critical situation. Chamisa added"We have disengaged, but withdrawal is also on the cards, and it may plunge the country into a deeper crisis. We already have a constitutional crisis, but there is going to be a worse one if there is no justice on the issues that are at play. We can't allow the same tactic and the same trick to be used twice."

However, CCC dismissed his claims saying the party does not have the position of interim secretary general and that Tshabangu is not a member of the party.
