By Jane Mlambo| Political analyst Dr Pedzisai Ruhanya has hinted that former MDC Spokesperson Obert Gutu is set to be appointed POLAD Spokesperson today.
POLAD is an alliance of political parties that participated in the 2018 harmonised elections though MDC led by Nelson Chamisa has refused to be part of a process they dismissed as a ‘choir’.
According to Ruhanya, Gutu who quit the Thokozani Khupe led MDC-T is set to assume the position of POLAD Spokesperson, though it was previously occupied by Khalipani Phugeni.
“Unconfirmed reports say former Khupe VP, @GutuObert will today be appointed POLAD spokesperson at State House meeting of the political outfit,” said Ruhanya.
Government spokesperson Nick Mangwana has confirmed the State House meeting today saying, “POLAD has an Executive Plenary Meeting at State House today. The Co-Convenors are also expected to appoint a Spokesperson today.”
