By A Correspondent- Addressing a Mashonaland West provincial Coordinating Committee meeting in Chinhoyi, Christopher Mutsvangwa said the youthful MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has refused to accept rules even in his own party.

Mutsvangwa said the move by the faction led by Thokozani Khupe to challenge Chamisa shows the nation is democratic.

Said Mutsvangwa at the said meeting:

MDC-A’s Chamisa does not want to play by the rules. He has not accepted the rulings of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), High Court and Supreme Court. He even rose to presidency within his own party through a coup.

However, the legitimate leaders in his party have since gathered the courage to challenge him and take charge of the party. The move by the MDC-T leadership in challenging Chamisa and following the court shows how democratic the nation is. We however, implore the party to follow its constitutional and democratic paths

During the same address, Mutsvangwa urged opposition parties to be patriotic and serve the interests of the country.
