Terrence Mawawa|Prominent social media analyst Antony Taruvinga believes MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has the capacity to lead the party after the 2019 congress.
Below is Taruvinga’ s argument:
I have for a couple of times come across debates centred on the MDC Congress, especially on whether or not the president should be contested.
So intriguing that a person who won the election with 2 674 032 is being contested.Competition is the beauty and foundation of democratic institutions and society. The MDC and its president Nelson Chamisa cherish and promote competitive internal democracy.
That having been said, we are practising democracy in a country ruled by merciless autocrats who will always try to infiltrate and destabilise institutions run by their competitors.
They will hit hard until they find a weak spot and they will use it to get to the epicentre of the organization and start the destruction and destabilisation process.
Lets be suspciously prudent because the vultures are out to destroy the people’s movement. They attempted it using Thokozani Khupe and hit a brick wall resulting in Khupe getting booted out of the party.
They are not done. Zanu PF’s primary priority is to have the weakest and the least popular candidate emerging from the MDC at any cost.We will not be quick to expose the individuals who are being used to destabilize the people’s struggle, but we will. We will release the can’s lid and the worms will flood the floor. We will make them lose at the National Congress by voting enmasse against them.
In my well thought and considered view, the need not to have Chamisa contested outweighs the need to. The elective Congress is a competition full of liars and propagandists. We may unnecessarily cause bruises on our “horse.” The task will still be ours to treat and clean the “horse” for 2023.
