By Dorrothy Moyo| Speaking against common expectations, the MDC Deputy President Elias Mudzuri has alleged that the party will split in the next 2 months.

Mudzuri has for over a year been claiming he is the legitimate successor to the late Morgan Tsvangirai.

Mudzuri published his first Tweet in a year, as he fired an ominous warning. He said, “the coming MDC-T congress threatens to tear the party apart and jeopardise our chances of winning the 2023 elections, ruining the hopes of millions. Let’s do what is right.

“MDC-T must respect its constitution — remove fear & factional divisions to enable members to elect a leader that will unite us and focus on ending suffering in Zimbabwe.”

Scores of party supporters yesterday said that they believe his comments are a direct threat signalling what he himself will do.

He was contacted late Friday for comment and refused to speak.
