By Own Correspondent| Opposition MDC president Nelson Chamisa has rubbished a statement made by former minister of Home Affairs Obert Mpofu alleging that he conceded elwction defeat in a call on August 1.

On Tuesday, Mpofu told the Motlanthe Commission that he called Chamisa in the afternoon on August 1 advising him to rein in MDC supporters who were said to be engaging in violence in town.

Mpofu went on to say that in the conversation, Chamisa conceded that he had lost the Presidential election to ZANU PF candidate Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Chamisa has however denied the allegations outright.

Said Chamisa about Mpofu’s phone call:

“Econet is my service provider. His call was never about the result but the people he alleged to be MDC. It was so bizarre to receive a call from Mpofu.

This was his first and last call to me up to today. Why would I discuss unannounced results and concede defeat to a mere junior minister?”
