Mwonzora told Newsday day that he was aware of the violent incidents and called for the disqualification of the rogue party members. Said Mwonzora:
The violence that is taking place is extremely disconcerting.
We will disqualify the violent elements from the Congress race, but this violence has to be nipped in the bud.
These people who perpetrate violence are criminals who belong in jail.
The leaders in whose name these goons operate must publicly denounce violence, a failure which they will be held responsible for the violence and disqualified, whoever they are.
