The Welshman Ncube led MDC has said that MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa must leave the coalition because he is destroying the project. The MDC alleges that Chamisa’s MDC-T disregarded the alliance agreement and grabbed all House of Assembly, Senate and proportional representation (PR) seats set aside for other partners.
Speaking to NewsDay, MDC Provincial chairman Leonard Mhlanga said,
I question why president Chamisa is failing to honour the agreement before he even runs this country. I am saying we now have an alliance which is operating according to what MDC-T wants. If Chamisa is failing to put his house in order, it calls for him to go back to MDC-T and leave the alliance as he is destroying the project.
…On April 29, we were called to Hwange provincial alliance meeting where Joel Gabbuza told us that they would contest for all parliamentary and council seats regardless of (the) alliance agreement. On May 10, they informed us at a meeting that Amos Chibaya was directed to field candidates around the country and talks to work together (in Lupane East) collapsed as MDC-T wanted Dalumizi (Khumalo) while we had Maxwell Mthunzana…We were not allocated senatorial and PR seats as MDC. We are worried by the way some partners in the alliance are doing their business.
