Skeletons are now tumbling in the MDC-T party amid allegations that Mr Douglas Mwonzora, the runaway winner in Sunday’s disputed party presidential elections, misused nearly $6 million of party funds. However, Mr Mwonzora who polled 883 votes to Dr Khupe’s miserly 118 votes, to become the main opposition party president said the allegations are unfounded and meant to tarnish his name. Mr Mwonzora and Dr Khupe were slugging it out against Messrs Morgen Komichi and Elias Mudzuri who respectively got nine and 14 votes in a poll marred by violence including verbal and physical attacks on the former deputy prime minister. The victory of Mr Mwonzora has, however, turned to be a bitter pill to swallow for the losing candidates who want him arrested for allegedly abusing party
Thokozani Khupe has said she regrets ever working with Douglas Mwonzora in the opposition MDC-T after the party’s Supreme Court-sanctioned congress which Mwonzora won turned violent on Sunday. Khupe accuses Mwonzora of being the instigator of the chaos and also of manipulating the electoral process in his favour. The former deputy to the late party’s founding leader, Morgan Tsvangirai has been working with Mwonzora since March this year when the Supreme Court ordered the party to hold an Extraordinary Congress to elect the substantive successor to Tsvangirai. The Supreme Court, like the High Court, had ruled that Nelson Chamisa who leads the rival MDC Alliance was not the legitimate leader of the party after he reportedly attained the presidency unconstitutionally followi
MDC-T Secretary-General Douglas Mwonzora was declared the party’s new president following a violent and chaotic election which was held at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) over the weekend. The MDC-T party held an Extra-Ordinary Congress (EOC) to choose a new substantive leader to succeed the late Morgan Richard Tsvangirai after the courts declared that Nelson Chamisa was not the legitimate leader of the party. However, the election which pitted acting President Thokozani Khupe against Mwonzora and senators Elias Mudzuri and Morgen Komichi degenerated into a farce as the other three candidates accused Mwonzora of rigging the elections. A disgruntled Mudzuri walked out of the process saying that he would not endorse a fraudulent election. Khupe and Komichi ha
Khupe along with other candidates Elias Mudzuri and Morgen Komichi walked out of the congress in protest at alleged vote rigging. This after Mwonzora allegedly presented a dodgy voters roll. “I have suspended Mwonzora from post of SG with immediate effect and suspended the EOC,” Khupe told journalists at a hastily convened press conference after the fracas. Khupe confirmed that several delegates were beaten and “one person rushed to hospital as we speak. I will be reporting to the police, over the $6 million stolen from our account,” Khupe claimed. Komichi weighed in saying “people who voted today are not our delegates. Some who voted were 10 years in 2014.” There was also a bizarre moment when journalists who wanted to follow Khupe to her pr
