Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has abandoned the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) name following a sustained assault to snatch the party from him by his opponents.
“This is to officially, and under my hand, inform you fellow citizens of Zimbabwe and the world, that, with immediate effect, I no longer have anything to do with CCC,” Chamisa wrote in press statement.
The development, which comes two years after he launched the party, follows months of speculation over CCC’s future after Sengezo Tshabangu emerged from nowhere claiming to be the interim secretary general and calling the shots.
