MDC secretary general Chalton Hwende has accused ZEC of showing duplicity in the way it treats the opposition and Zanu-PF.

This follows the registration of another party named MDC Original from Mutare.

In an interview with Daily News, Hwende said the move to register another movement in the MDC’s name was a plot to destroy the party, accusing ZEC of refusing to register another party named Zanu PF Original.

“As the MDC we see this as a continuous plot to destroy the party, we are not worried because the people know their party. This exposes Zec’s duplicity. They refused to recognise a party that was called Zanu-PF Original and now there are recognising a party bearing our name.

“We are going to court to protect our name because this Zanu-PF regime has run out of ideas and is now doing everything possible to cause confusion among the people. However, the people know their president, they will not be confused,” Hwende fumed.
