Chamisa's MDC-T rejects PDP Parly candidate

THE MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa faces a stern test in Mbizo constituency, Kwekwe where MDC-T structures are reportedly opposed to having the seat allocated to PDP parliamentary candidate, Settlement Chikwinya.

MDC-T supporters are resisting Chikwinya's candidature, and have been circulating fliers in the constituency calling on the electorate not to vote for the MDC Alliance candidate before the issue has been addressed by the alliance leaders.

"Chikwinya is the enemy of Mbizo. You sold out Zimasco workers. You betrayed MDC and donated the seat to Zanu-PF. You want to impose yourself on Mbizo. Mbizo structures will never vote for you," read some of the fliers being circulated in the city.

Contacted for comment, MDC-T national chairman, Morgan Komichi said: "I am working 24/7 because our members feel strongly that we should field candidates in all constituencies and we are mindful that if we were to have primary elections in all constituencies our alliance partners will not get a single seat. But we have to provide leadership and make sure the agreement is respected."
