Ncube to quit in 2010

BULAWAYO – Professor Welshman Ncube, the chief architect of the pro-Senate faction of the opposition MDC, is quitting politics in 2010.

Ncube told CAJ News he would quit politics at the end of his term of office as secretary-general of the pro-Senate MDC to concentrate on his legal prof

ession without political “disruptions and interruptions.”

Prof Ncube’s revelations come amid widespread sentiments that either he or some of his associates probably misled Prof Arthur Mutambara on the strength of their faction by giving him the false hope of making fast-track inroads into national politics via their camp. Political analysts say Mutambara is now trapped, unable to extricate himself from the mire.

“I am definitely going not to be available on the frontline role at the end of this current term. The constitution of the MDC says that I can only stand two terms as the secretary-general and I am serving my last term,” said Ncube.
These revelations could accelerate the downfall of the pro-Senate faction because he is widely considered the leading figure in the faction ever since the October 12 impasse. – CAJ News
