MDC acting President, Nelson Chamisa says his party will not hold a special congress to choose a new leader this year.

He said this was because there is not enough time to organise one since it was three months before polls.Chamisa says his elevation to acting president is “100% correct” and Thokozani Khupe has failed to understand the procedure of picking an acting leader.

“Unfortunately, no vice president can elevate themselves to be the leader.  There are no appointed or elected vice presidents. We have 3 Deputy Presidents who are all equal. No-one is above the other,” said Chamisa.

Chamisa apologised for the violence in Buhera saying it was an embarrassment.- state media
