The circumstances of Paul Themba Nyathi's were unclear, MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai's spokesman said William Bango.
Nyathi is a member of the party's national executive and an MP.
Earlier on Monday a magistrate released the MDC's vice-president Gibson Sibanda, 59, who had been held for a week in a Bulawayo jail on allegations of trying to "overthrow the government by unconstitutional means".
He had organised a national stayaway last month in protest against President Robert Mugabe's government.
On Thursday last week the magistrate who was due to deliver a ruling on Sibanda's bail application failed to turn up for the hearing because of "personal commitments". Sibanda thus spent another four days in detention.
He was granted him ZD1-million (about R970000) bail.
