Chamisa is now a flawed cCandidate

Dear brother in Christ. President Chamisa.

I hope this letter finds your well.

Politics is a great career when one is people centred than anything else. With what has transpired in the MDC Alliance, I personally don't believe in your leadership anymore despite some senior citizen party stalwarts (Mafa, Nkomo etal) unwavering loyalty to you. I believe you've failed the electorate of certain Constituencies by failing to offer them Primaries, e.g Magwegwe. This has led Magwegwe to have more than 10 independent candidates gunning for MP position because of discontentment against the current incumbent.
God help you in this move because you're at risk of your position by creating political detest and trusting on people who lie to you and still report to your wishes. Come Congress, these are the people who'll ditch you out. The consequences for violating the very foundation of democracy in our movement are on the way. They cause corruption, decay of our infrastructure, looting, compromised loyalty at the expense of people and eventually an armed struggle.

I must tell you first that I find it difficult to support your cause when you've grievously practiced dictatorship similar to maggots of ZANU-PF. Denying people their primaries is just a good example of dictatorship, particularly looking at the Zimbabwean Constitution and MDC-T Constitution. Take in mind, this has taken USA State Department by shock as they've been backing the movement that has turned worse than the old ZANU-PF. I can't see how I can honestly support you after you have hurt so many who trusted you or those who were willing to give you a chance.  You have personally assaulted women and elderly senior people in our movement and practically initiated a purging system against their political careers despite their popularity in their constituencies. This is plainly political demagoguery. You've created a political intense environment, particularly from a pastor who must always champion Love and Unity. You have destroyed it.

You have denied your own Magwegwe people a right to vote. What sort of leadership is that?  

Bulawayo Chairman Gift Banda and Secretary Genaral Mwonzora have stated openly that you stoped Magwegwe elections because Mafa was winning. What kind of cruelty is this to a man who stood by you through thick and thin?  
The old man believed in you and yet you dug a hole in his heart and betrayed him after he did everything to save you from Khupeism. How could your character be so flawed to even extend refusing an election in Kuwadzana against a man who also stood by you? Why did you conduct primary elections without security? You imposed Hwende, a candidate known for violence without giving the opponent a hearing over false allegations that he was stoping an election. If he stopped an election in Kuwandzana, who stopped the election in Magwegwe and Entumbane?

Elections are something very fundamental to our democracy. Stopping elections is a cardinal sin deserving your resignation or firing from the party for you are not above the law. You have also used deception to dribble their emotions and taken away the people's hope. It's difficult to land you support. I however, will continue to support the movement with the hopes of cleaning out corrupt people that you have lined up to do your bidding. I just hope we can salvage what is left of it. Your crimes against the people of Magwegwe and other constituencies only deserves one solution. Resign or be impeached because you don't want to rectify the problem.

Our parents fought the War against white man Colonialism so that they could vote. Now we're fighting against ZANU-PF so that we could vote, suprisingly you've taken that from them by using a single text message. We vote every five years to replace power and you my friend have become a dictator. Why?
If the allegations of selling MP seats is proven, this money is peanuts compared to millions of dollars you will have access to in the national treasury. Can we trust that you won't loot our national treasures when controlling the leavers of government ?

People have brought in their complaints about the failure of primaries, but you have preferred to listen to certain close subordinates of yours who are doing your bidding. How different are you from ZANU-PF when you've denied your supporters to elect their own Candidates? These are the very activists on the ground that galvanize our masses to be motivated to vote against ZANU-PF. Your actions seem as if you have covertly hijacked our movement and I can't imagine a leader of a Movement behaving like Old ZANU-PF. You've killed people's hearts who have been loyal to us.

Our past and present conversation have brought me to conclude  these things on my own. You have no possibilities to being redeemed. Many fear to speak because they want favors and are very hungry and you have used food to buy their loyalty. Mark my words Mr. President- they are seeing what I see and know fully well that you've diverted the true approach. You are a flawed candidate now.

Our mission is one - remove Zanu-PF. I must say that you have made it very hard for us to accomplish this task because you have been organizing your henchman in order to facilitate running our movement like a mafia. You've also created bootlickers.

Change this attitude very quickly. Even your campaign rhetoric is filled with lies and unbelievable realities.

Give us back our movement or resign Mr. President or suffer impeachment for voting rights violations.

You've proved to be a silent dangerous leader in this movement. You have no right to expect ZANU-PF to respect us based on all what you have done.

Please give us our movement back by resigning now or be impeached at the close of the election. Win or no win. This will be my dedicated campaign and I hope to sign up many who are silently grappling.

Dedicated Carder of Democracy
