Christopher Peter Mutekwatekwa Chingosho (born 21 June 1952) is a Zimbabwean politician who is currently a member of the National Assembly of Zimbabwe for Headlands since 2015.
[1] On 15 March 1975, Chingosho went to join the liberation movement in Mozambique, where the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) was based during the Rhodesian Bush War.
In 2013, Chingosho attempted to challenge incumbent MP Didymus Mutasa in the primary to represent ZANU–PF in the Headlands constituency in the upcoming parliamentary election.
[3] Though he had been recommended to run by ZANU–PF directorates at the district, provincial, and national levels, his candidacy was disqualified in a controversial decision by the party's politburo.
[3] The politburo was then populated by members of Vice-President Joice Mujuru's faction within the party, whereas Chingosho was allied with Emmerson Mnangagwa.
[3] Two years later, Mutasa was expelled from ZANU–PF and recalled from the National Assembly, and Chingosho won the primary to represent the party in the upcoming by-election.
[4] In August 2017, he illegally occupied a farm in Makoni District before he was ordered off the property by High Court justice Loice Matanda Moyo.
