The MDC-T yesterday said its MPs-elect will boycott the official opening of Parliament by President Mugabe to register their displeasure at the way the July 31 polls were conducted.
The officials would, however, attend the swearing-in ceremony slated for next Tuesday.
MDC-T spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora said the party was also not going to field any candidates for the positions of Speaker of the House of Assembly, President of the Senate or their deputies.
The MDC-T has rejected the outcome of the July 31 elections claiming massive rigging.
He, however, said the party was going to retain Innocent Gonese as MDC-T chief whip. Zanu-PF has already rallied its MPs-elect to choose former Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission chairperson Jacob Mudenda as Speaker of the House of Assembly.
