Own Correspondent|War veterans’ leader Chris Mutsvangwa says that one of the reasons why Movement for Democratic Change leader Nelson Chamisa is insisting that he won the 2018 elections is that he will be forced to step down if he says he lost.
Mutsvangwa said this is what the party constitution says, a statement which on its own is not true.
The MDC constitution whuch was approved at the party’s inaugural congress in 2000 and was amended in 2006, 2011 and 2014 does not have a close to the effect.
Founding President Morgan Tsvangirai lost presidential elections in 2002, beat Mugabe in 2008 but allegedly did not get enough votes for an outright victory and pulled out of the run-off race because of the violence that ensured, and lost the elections in 2013.
Tsvangirai, however, remained party president until his death in February 2018.
