Mwonzora Dragging The MDC-T To A Chaotic Congress
On Wednesday evening a paltry gathering of 33 individuals linked to Douglas Mwonzora gathered at MRT House purportedly to ‘nominate’ a replacement for the founding father of the pro-democracy struggle Dr Morgan Tsvangirai.
What immediately raised eyebrows is that why would this group meet under the cover of darkness amidst COVID-19 restrictions?
The other red flag is that only 33 people out of a possible 568 eligible delegates attended this poorly choreographed charade.
This group represents only 5, 8% of eligible delegates in Harare and therefore it’s crystal clear that whatever they resolved does not represent the views of party members in Harare.
It is highly disheartening to note that this gathering was a product of an illegal process of gap-filling party structures with illegitimate individuals that will support Mwonzoras’ bid for the MDC-T presidency.
