THE MDC-T top leadership has moved to rubberstamp party leader Douglas Mwonzora’s “unconstitutional” appointment of Elias Mudzuri as party vice president.
Mudzuri, one of the three losing challengers to Mwonzora in a chaotic December extraordinary congress to find a substantive MDC-T leader, was appointed by the latter as party co-vice president with Thokozani Khupe.
However, some disgruntled party activists were quick to accuse the hawkish politician of violating the MDC-T constitution which has no room for two vice presidents.
In fact, the appointment of two extra VPs outside an elective congress by late former MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai 2016 is the source of the main opposition’s split which saw Khupe – the only elected VP then – withdraw from party processes in protest.
