Tshinga Dube said he will not contest again for the Makokoba parliamentary seat after losing to MDC Alliance candidate James Sithole.
Dube lost the Makokoba constituency in 2008, 2013 and the July 30 elections. At one time Dube contemplated quitting after losing the 2013 elections to MDC-T only to win through a 2015 by-election after the opposition boycotted the process. Tshinga held a “thank you” rally at MacDonald Hall in Makokoba on Saturday and announced his decision not to contest for the seat again. Said Dube:
I think I have done enough, I have Makokoba at heart, but there comes a time when one has to say enough is enough. I have done a lot for the constituency, I will forever remain indebted to those that stood with me during this election and previous elections, but for now I have taken a decision not to contest again.
