By Jane Mlambo| The Nelson Chamisa led MDC Alliance which held its National Council meeting yesterday says its structures and branches remain strong and growing despite a serious state sponsored onslaught on the movement which saw over 40 of its legislators being recalled from Parliament by a rival grouping.

Party spokesperson Fadzai Mahere in a communique released after the National Council said they are at advanced stages in their preparation for by-elections to replace recalled parliamentarians and councillors.

“The council received a detailed elections report. All systems are in place to ensure that the party is well positioned to carryout its mandate in respect of people,” said Mahere.

“The National Council took note of the sound health of the party as all structures and branches of the party are solid and growing,” she added.
