By Jane Mlambo| A member of the MDC Alliance pact, MDC-N led by Professor Welshman Ncube is fighting to have the Kuwadzana constituency seat which fell vacant following the death of Mirriam Mushayi.

The seat was allocated to Professor Ncube’s party in the 2018 elections but MDC-T members have already set their eyes on the seat.

In a letter to MDC Alliance Secretary General Charlton Hwende, Kurauone Chihwayi bemoaned the violation of the MDC Alliance agreement which he said is valid until 2023.

“I am strongly disturbed by the violation of a valid MDC Alliance agreement that expires in 2023, which gave the seat to the MDC led by Prof Welshman Ncube.

“As such, I expected the MDC to elect or choose one of its own to finish the term of office left by the late Hon. Miriam Mushayi,” Chihwayi said.

The MDC Alliance was already planning to hold primary elections to replace Mushayi in breach of the alliance agreement.

“I did not see the rationale of participating in a primary election with members of the then MDC-T in the MDC Alliance. I am a full member of the MDC Alliance by virtue of being a member of the MDC,” Chihwayi alluded.

Mushayi was a member of the MDC before her party joined the MDC Alliance in 2018.
