Tension is simmering in the MDC Alliance following the alleged imposition of candidates in several constituencies across the country.

Sources in the coalition yesterday claimed MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa and Transform Zimbabwe president Jacob Ngarivhume clashed over the imposition of candidates in constituencies in Masvingo Province and other parts of the country- when the two leaders met for a briefing.

“There is rising tension between Chamisa and Ngarivhume because the latter feels he is being shortchanged by his alliance partner.

Yesterday the two had an altercation over the imposition of candidates,” sources in the alliance claimed.

“Ngarivhume is demanding political space, which he is being denied resulting in friction between the two leaders,” an official in the MDC Alliance said yesterday.
