Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for
Democratic Change says it is suspending its leader Morgan Tsvangirai for
"deviating from democratic principles".
The announcement, by MDC Secretary General Tendai Biti, follows a party meeting in the capital Harare.
From 2009-2013 Mr Tsvangirai served as prime minister in a fragile power-sharing government, with Robert Mugabe remaining Zimbabwe's president.
That unity government ended with the elections in July 2013.
Mr Mugabe's party won a huge majority in the vote, which Mr Tsvangirai dismissed as fraudulent.
His defeat was a major setback for a man who for many years posed the only credible challenge to President Mugabe.
He also failed to unseat the veteran leader in two previous attempts.
Observers say the MDC leadership has been riven with in-fighting for months, in the wake of the election.
Several other senior party figures were also reported to have been suspended at Saturday's meeting, and some suspended members to have been reinstated. BBC
