MDC-Alliance deputy president Engineer Elias Mudzuri yesterday said the forthcoming opposition party’s congress in May could split the party due to factional fights.

MDC-Alliance, led by Mr Nelson Chamisa, will hold its congress from May 24 to 26, but members are bickering over the conduct of elections and the posts to be contested at the indaba.
In his first Tweet in a year, Eng Mudzuri delivered an ominous warning.

“The coming MDC-T congress threatens to tear the party apart and jeopardise our chances of winning the 2023 elections, ruining the hopes of millions. Let’s do what is right,” tweeted Eng Mudzuri.

“MDC-T must respect its constitution — remove fear & factional divisions to enable members to elect a leader that will unite us and focus on ending suffering in Zimbabwe.”
Contacted for comment over his Twitter post, Eng Mudzuri said he was in a meeting.

The last time Eng Mudzuri posted something on the micro-blogging site was when he, together with Dr Thokozani Khupe and Mr Nelson Chamisa, were jostling to lead the party, just before the death of the party’s founding president Mr Morgan Tsvangirai.The Herald
