DICTATORSHIP OR DEMOCRACY?-NEWLY-APPOINTED MDC-T leader Nelson Chamisa is generating more furore after issuing a decree that seeks to protect sitting legislators from being contested in primaries ahead of 2018 general elections.
Nelson Chamisa who was recently endorsed three weeks ago as MDC-T president has issued a circular barring internal party elections in constituencies held by opposition legislators, thereby giving the MDC T legislators an open ticket back into the Parliament with no challenge from internal candidates keen on the same posts.
They claim to have invested a lot of personal resources, including their own vehicles to campaign for Chamisa during the internal MDC T power struggles and now want a piece of the cake.
This is a sitting time bomb for more power struggles and divisions and defections
The MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora confirmed that the said circular has ben issued, however insiders are of the strong opinion that the new MDC T president Nelson Chamisa and his acolytes, in fear of people on the ground and losing dismally to democracy, are avoiding primaries, as a continuation of his refusal to go to an elective congress following former president and Founder Richard Morgan Tsvangirai’s death.
