Constitutionalism is the greatest pillar of civilization. Even those countries that do not have constitutional democracy as their system of government have constitutions. Even burial societies have constitutions. Political parties have constitutions so are Sovereign States.

An organization without a constitution is like a ship in the middle of the seas without a compass!

MDC as the biggest opposition political party in the republic must lead by example. MDC carries the hopes and the aspirations of the people. An opposition is a government in waiting! The MDC cannot afford to break its constitution with impunity if our young democracy is to grow.

The leadership failed big time when its founder president iconic Morgan Tsvangirai passed on.
The only remedy the aggrieved party members had were the courts.

The MDC family is eagerly waiting for the long awaited judgement. All the MDC family is demanding is a fair judgment as the judgement is important as it shall be a precedence in the life of our young democracy founded in 1980.

The MDC must get back to its track. The only way is through an Extraordinary ordinary Congress as stipulated by the MDC Constitution. It’s an opportunity for the MDC to reunite and start on a new page. A new era where the constitution reigns supreme.

The party must go back to constitutionalism and observe the party’s founding values and principles.
