MDC-T secretary general Tendai Biti fiercely clashed with party organising secretary Nelson Chamisa at a standing committee meeting over primary election application forms while MPs Tabitha Khumalo and Albert Mhlanga reportedly exchanged blows as intra-party fighting rages on.
Chamisa reportedly queried why Biti dispatched application forms for aspiring MPs without his signature.
The clash is seen as part of a wider MDC-T factional and succession battle as Biti and Chamisa are allegedly ensconced in 2 warring camps.
In Bulawayo Khumalo confronted Mhlanga who is an ally of DPM Thokozani Khupe over a plot by Khupe to ouster her and replace her with former UK based academic Mandla Nyathi.
