Mugabe, Tsvangirai birds of a feather

While some Zimbabweans are expressing constitutional reservations about Mr. Mugabe's delay to announce his deputies, national party chairman and members of the Politburo, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) formation led by Morgan Tsvangirai seems to have also breached its own constitution by failing to hold a National Council meeting within a month following its own congress as stipulated in the constitution.
But the opposition's spin-doctor Obert Gutu told Studio 7 that they were acting within the confines of their constitution.
Gutu added that the national council would meet this weekend where members of the national executive committee would be announced.
Sources in the MDC-T said the party's president Morgan Tsvangirai is expected to bring back former organizing secretary of the party, Nelson Chamisa, into the national executive.
Chamisa, who had been nominated by all but one of the MDCT's 12 provinces for the post of secretary general, lost to Douglas Mwonzora by a wide margin.
In terms of the MDC-T's constitution, Mr. Tsvangirai has the power to appoint twelve people into the national executive.
