Tsvangirai's MDC-T position up for grabs

The embattled former Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai-led MDC-T has unveiled guidelines for its October elective congress which will see newcomers and those who contested in last year's general elections as independent candidates barred from contesting for positions at any level of the party.

The party yesterday announced that all party positions, including Tsvangirai's would be up for grabs.

Tsvangirai likely to be challenged by former Energy minister Elias Mudzuri, who has not ruled out contesting the position.

Party spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora said Tsvangirai was unveiling the template, whose major highlight was to set minimum conditions for conducting the elective congress.

"The template contains the code of conduct and the qualifications of members who are going to vote for, but, most importantly, we are emphasizing that every position at congress will be contested," Mwonzora.
