By Jane Mlambo| The MDC Alliance Secretary General, Charlton Hwende has insisted that their 2019 resolution on the legitimacy of President Emmerson Mnangagwa remains unchanged despite their decision to attend the mid-term budget review session today.

The MDC Alliance since the 2018 elections have always walked on Mnangagwa each time he attends parliament, a move that once forced Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda to withhold their allowances at some point.

Yesterday, party spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said the MDC Alliance legislators would attend the mid-term budget review as the country was facing a deteriorating economic situation and a governance crisis.

The move appeared to be a departure from their earlier stance not to recognise Mnangagwa in parliament but Hwende said nothing changes from their last resolution.

“The MDC Alliance Congress and National Council resolutions on the illegitimacy of Emmerson Mnangagwa remains unchanged and as such continues to guide the conduct of all party organs including our Parliament caucus,” said Hwende.
