The Morgan Tsvangirai-led MDC-T party has suffered another knock in Manicaland province after one of its key members and Senator Patrick Chitaka crossed the floor to join the Renewal Team on Wednesday.
Chitaka, who served as MDC-T acting provincial chairperson between 2007 and 2011, is credited for managing to win 20 House of Assembly and four Senate seats during his tenure.
He said following his immense contribution in the party, he found himself being treated like an outsider hence the decision to join the Renewal Team.
The MDC-T split for the second time this year following irreconcilable differences between Tsvangirai and a faction led by former deputy treasurer-general Elton Mangoma and secretary-general Tendai Biti.
