Welshman Ncube new Deputy Premier!

Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara was today redeployed to the Ministry of Regional Integration and International Co-operation paving way for newly-elected MDC-M president Welshman Ncube to take over as Deputy prime Minister. Speaking after a meeting of the party’s standing committee, Ncube said: “The feeling of the committee was that the office of the DPM should be occupied by the party’s most senior official. This should not be viewed as a demotion. It’s only that we are new to democracy. It happens in a democracy. If at one time you lead, the next you follow.”
