Today the High Court of Zimbabwe has put to rest calls by democratic minded people within the opposition party who have always clamored that the incumbent leader of MDC-Alliance Nelson Chamisa usurped power through unconstitutional means.
According to today’s High Court ruling of order recorded under number HC 8697/18 read as follows;
“The application of 2nd and 3rd respondents as Deputy Presidents of Movement for Democratic Change was unconstitutional and therefore null and void,” reads.
It went further to elaborate that the 1st respondent be and is hereby to hold an Extra- Ordinary Congress after the lapse of at least one month and the date of this order.
The ruling further stipulates that respondents are ordered to pay the applicants costs of suit, jointly and severally, the one paying the other to be absolved.
Thokozane Khupe leader of MDC is on record saying Chamisa is power hungry.
She said after the election challenge at the Con- Court the whole world was aware that there was no basis to claim that he won with 2,6 million votes but for Chamisa honesty, decency and classy are foreign concepts.
Khupe said Chamisa has mastered the art of demagoguery and was milking the majority of his unsuspecting followers to the fullest.
Khupe said the young man seems to live in his own parell world. He doesn’t appreciate that he needs to hold himself to a higher or at least the same standard as he expects of others.
She said the delusional young man was obsessed with power and fame.
Khupe said the young man cries of putting the country back to legitimacy and respect to the constitution, but he (Chamisa) is talking nonsense because he can’t respect his own internal constitution of the party.
She said Chamisa was not a legitimate leader and as such cannot question the legitimacy of President Emmerson Mnangagwa who was declared by a competent arm of the Government.
Khupe said Chamisa is aware that he is a constitutional delinquent.
