Fireworks expected at MDC-T meeting tomorrow

Fireworks are expected tomorrow when the MDC-T Bulawayo provincial structures meet to choose a new substantive chairperson to replace Makokoba legislator Gorden Moyo who stepped down earlier this month.

The weekend elections come amid infighting and factionalism in the party's Bulawayo provincial structures, which Moyo cited as one of his reasons for quitting.

Party members will also choose a new Bulawayo provincial secretary and youth assembly chairperson, positions left vacant after the dismissal of Luveve and Mpopoma-Pelandaba legislators Reggie Moyo and Bekithemba Nyathi respectively for their link to the MDC-T Renewal Team.

The MDC-T national organising committee led by the party's national organising secretary Nelson Chamisa would be in Bulawayo to conduct the elections after some provincial members expressed fear that the local leadership would rig the polls.
