Mwonzora has every right to challenge for any post in MDC
By Bevan Musoko
There are simmering tensions in the MDC faction led by Nelson Chamisa over the contestations for elective posts as the party prepares for its 5th elective Congress since its formation in 1999. A faction aligned to Chamisa is lobbying for the postponement of the congress from the scheduled February/March 2019 to later in the year, around October 2018 amid accusations by other members that Chamisa is seeking to delay the watershed congress to consolidate his position. This is against the background of questions surrounding the legitimacy of Chamisa’s assumption of the MDC leadership following the death of Morgan Tsvangirai in February 2018.
