Jane Mlambo| In a rather shocking revelation of deep seated division in the opposition MDC, Vice President Elias Mudzuri has refused to recognize Nelson Chamisa as the party President referring to him as “VP Chamisa”

In an interview with the weekly The Standard, Mudzuri who was asked why Chamisa performed better than his party parliamentary candidates, the former Harare Mayor constantly referred to his party leader as VP.

Below is an except from the interview…

The Standard: In your opinion, why do you think was the reason Chamisa performed better than the MPs and how can it be addressed in future elections?

Elias Mudzuri: When we went into the election Zanu PF was greatly divided. 

There were many instances where some Zanu PF supporters voted for their preferred MPs in Zanu PF, but on the presidency they voted for VP Chamisa. 

Thousands who had been staunch supporters of Robert Mugabe chose to vote for VP Chamisa for president.
