Opposition Politicians Walk Out As Mnangagwa Gives State Of The Nation Address

Legislators from the opposition MDC party walked out of Parliament just after President Emmerson Mnangagwa had started his speech at the official opening of the Ninth Parliament. The Members of Parliament (MPs) and Senators refused to be addressed by the President and marched out as a result. They promptly returned when President Mnangagwa finished his speech only to find their seats now occupied by legislators from Zanu-PF. There was commotion as the opposition clashed with the ruling party legislators demanding their seats back.  The House was adjourned until the 25th of September
