TOP MDC politician, Elias Mudzuri is living in fear of attacks by angry party supporters who accuse him of having a hand in the court nullification of Nelson Chamisa's incumbency as party leader on Wednesday.

NewZimbabwe.com reports that Chamisa's supporters have accused party secretary general Douglas Mwonzora and Mudzuri of having been behind the application by a junior party official that triggered the crisis that is now gnawing at the party.

Speaking through a spokesperson, Father Rungano Muchineripi, Mudzuri said his home had been besieged by a group of angry youths sometime this week, who shouted obscenities accusing him of secretly funding the court application by Elias Mashavira.

It was not clear whether Mudzuri had made a police report. Muchineripi said Mudzuri suspects senior leaders close to Chamisa within the MDC (names withheld) were behind the youths.

Mudzuri accepted Justice Edith Mushore's judgment that also declared the former Harare Mayor illegitimate.

Chamisa and Mudzuri's frosty relations date back to the MDC's congress in 2011 when the former, who was party spokesperson at the time, challenged Mudzuri for the position of national organising secretary and won.
