Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) National Deputy Organising Secretary, Amos Chibaya said sensationally claimed that the succession battle ravaging the main opposition party has been put to rest as deputy President, Thokozani Khupe has conceded defeat to Nelson Chamisa.
Chibaya, who is also the Mkoba Legislator said this during a press briefing in Gweru adding that the Midlands Province is fully behind Chamisa's ascendancy to the presidency of the labor backed movement.
He said the squabbles currently rocking the opposition have nothing to do with succession but constituency distribution in the Matabeleland region, which is an MDC-T stronghold.
"I want to put this on record that Honorable madam Thokozani Khupe has conceded defeat saying it herself that she has lost the battle to Honorable Chamisa because the truth of the matter is that the MDC National Council sat and elected Chamisa to be the substantive President and 2018 Presidential candidate," he said.
"When the issue of succession was being debated it was before the National Council had made a resolution and Khupe was very correct then," said Chibaya.
