“Only MDC Members Have Mandate To Elect Party Leadership”
8 May 2019
Farai Dziva|Only MDC members have the mandate to elect the party leadership, spokesperson for the opposition party Jacob Mafume has said.
Mafume was addressing an urgent news conference at Morgan Tsvangirai House in the capital today.
The opposition party invited members of the media fraternity to the urgent news conference following a High Court ruling ordering MDC A leader Nelson Chamisa to cede the presidency.
“MDC members have the mandate to elect the leadership of the party, according to the Constitution.
As such preparations for the Congress are progressing regardless of the High Court ruling.
As far as we are concerned the party’s internal processes cannot be determined by external influence,” said Mafume.
