Nelson Chamisa, the interim MDC leader, has dismissed criticism that his swift ascension to the helm of the country's largest opposition party was part of a military project as 'highly offensive' and 'disgusting'.
The 40-year old MDC leader said the allegations were without basis and were a result of a strong candidate earning the seat of power amid a dirty war over control of the opposition party.
The backlash against Chamisa began after former president Robert Mugabe's nephew Patrick Zhuwao alleged that the barrister was a "Team Lacoste plant being used by the military to push for a postponement of the 2018 elections".
