MDC secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora’s faction reportedly won the majority of positions in Ward congress elections in party leader Nelson Chamisa’s Kuwadzana stronghold.
Mwonzora’s faction reportedly grabbed all positions in the main wing and women’s assembly forcing Chamisa’s supporters in the youth assembly to disrupt proceedings.
The opposition party’s lower structures are in the throes of what appears to be its most divisive congress since formation amid reports Mwonzora is girding himself to challenge Chamisa for the top post of president, NewZimbabwe.com reports.
