Linda Masarira dumps Biti, to contest as independent in 2018

Political and women rights activist Linda Masarira has announced that she will contest for the Harare Central parliamentary seat which is currently being occupied by MDC-T’s Zwizwai Murisi as an independent candidate in next year’s elections.

In June this year, Masarira announce via her Twitter account that she would contest for the seat as a member of Tendai Biti’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP). However because of the MDC Alliance she would not be able to contest for the seat due to seat allocation.
