The MDC Secretary General, Douglas Mwonzora has explained why his name does not appear as an appelant against Justice Edith Mushore’s verdict which voids Chamisa’s presidency over the party.

In appeal papers submitted by the party yesterday, Mwonzora appeared as a Respondent instead of an Appellant.

News readers yesterday complained why he appears in opposition to his own boss, and furthermore in opposition to his own party.

Speaking to ZimEye Friday morning, Mwonzora said there was nothing unusual because “the matter is being handled by our lawyers. “

He continued saying that the party’s lawyers have not spoken to him. “They have not spoken to me. The decision to appeal was a resolution of the National Standing Committee and NEC. Our lawyers have not talked to me,” he said.
