During the provincial co-ordinating committee (PCC) meeting at Chinhoyi University of Technology's gym hall, ZANU-PF politburo member Ziyambi Ziyambi left the session, reportedly due to factionalism within Mashonaland West province.
The division stemmed from disagreements over an ongoing restructuring exercise.
Christopher Mutsvangwa allegedly went against previous agreements by interfering with co-options made by the provincial committee, prompting Ziyambi's departure.
Mutsvangwa's behavior during the meeting, including interrupting provincial chairperson Mary Mliswa-Chikoka, was criticized by youth members.
Although Mliswa-Chikoka downplayed the incident, attributing Ziyambi's departure to a hospital visit, factional allegiances within the party are evident, with members such as Douglas Mombeshora, Webster Shamu, and Marian Chombo reportedly supporting Mutsvangwa, while Mliswa-Chikoka is associated with Ziyambi's camp.
