THERE is mounting turmoil over who is administering the MDC's elective congress after the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU)'s secretary general, Japhet Moyo rejected allegations that he was chairing the party's independent electoral commission, NewZimbabwe.com reported.
Dissatisfied MDC secretary general, Douglas Mwonzora who was angling for Nelson Chamisa's job, withdrew from the race citing "irregularities" on how the ZCTU and Moyo were handling the nomination process.
But Moyo has revealed that neither the ZCTU nor him in his personal capacity had ever been invited to take charge of the MDC congress.
However, while Moyo was dissociating the ZCTU and himself from the 'irregularities marred' process, MDC spin doctor Jacob Mafume maintained that Moyo was in charge of the party's independent electoral commission as he was tasked to run the MDC congress.
"The independent electoral commission is chaired by the ZCTU and Japhet Moyo in particular," Mafume told newzimbabwe.com when contacted for comment.
Mwonzora blames Moyo for failing to protect him from vote fraud and chicanery which he says has characterised the MDC's nomination process.
Moyo was not happy with the ZCTU and his name dragged into the MDC's messy internal affairs describing this as very "unfair and unethical".
Mwonzora's supporters have accused Chamisa and those close to him of manipulating the party's structures in a bid to stop would be challengers from being nominated.
