MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzai Mahere has dismissed claims that the party is fighting over the Kuwadzana seat that fell vacant following the death of Mirriam Mushayi who was seconded by the MDC led by Professor Welshman Ncube as part of the Alliance agreement.

There are murmurings from the MDC who felt hard done by the failure to respect the Alliance agreement which would have seen the vacant seat filled in by someone from the same party, but Mahere said that is water under the bridge and cannot be respected anymore.

“The MDC Alliance is a unified political party that has long evolved from the Alliance Agreement. We are governed by unified electoral rules derived from the MDC Alliance Constitution,” said Mahere.

The MDC Alliance was an agreement of seven political parties who came together to contest the 2018 harmonised elections as a unit.
