MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa has hinted, yet again, that the opposition party will adopt a new name as the party gears up for the 26 March by-elections and 2023 harmonised elections.
Tweeting on Sunday morning, Chamisa hinted of a new party name by referring to a Biblical story of a quarrel between the patriarch, Isaac and the Philistines over wells of water.
The Philistines were jealous of Isaac's wealth and they claimed a spring he had dug as theirs.
Isaac then dug another well and gave it a new name, and yet again, the Philistines claimed it as theirs, forcing him to move to another place and digging another well and giving it a different name. Wrote Chamisa:

WE WILL FLOURISH..Then they dug another well,but they quarreled over that one also;so he named it Sitnah.He moved on from there &dug another well,&no one quarreled over it.He named it Rehoboth,saying,"Now the LORD has given us room & we will flourish in the land."Genesis:26.20-22
