MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa’s spokesperson, Nkululeko Sibanda has said that Emmerson Mnangagwa is desperate to push Nelson Chamisa out of the political sphere.

The opposition party alleges that Mnangagwa through the Central Intelligence Organisation, wants to relegate Chamisa to the political doldrums by funding a weak candidate.

Mnangagwa is reportedly investing $6 million in order to avoid standing against Chamisa in any election.

Writing on Twitter on Friday, Sibanda said:
“Mnangagwa is investing $6 mil trying to avoid standing against Pres Chamisa in any election. All should fear a run against President Nelson Chamisa, he is:
1) still within term limits
2) the party’s engine of growth and power
3) the only one who can beat a rigging ZANU PF.”

There are reports that the government is bankrolling Chamisa’s rivals ahead of the upcoming MDC elective Congress set to be held on May 24.
