Party secretary-general Chalton Hwende said it was painful that the party had lost six national executive members, including two MPs in just two months.
“In the last 60 days, we have lost six national executive members (two current MPs and two former MPs). Politics is increasingly becoming very risky in the so-called new dispensation. If you are not in court or jail then you are in the coffin,” Hwende tweeted.
