 MDC-T vice-president, Obert Gutu has emphasised that Zimbabwe has no political crisis and that President Emmerson Mnangagwa is the constitutionally elected President.

Posting on his Twitter page Gutu said, “There's no crisis of political legitimacy in Zimbabwe. There's a socio-economic crisis but the entire civilised global community knows that the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe is His Excellency President Mnangagwa. Anything contrary to this is rank madness, morbid political hallucination.”

Gutu, who was spokesman for the MDC-T under Morgan Tsvangirai, broke away with Thokozani Khupe but lost in the Harare East parliamentary elections, has been attacked and labelled a Zanu PF project by MDC-Alliance because of his support for President Mnangagwa and his government

Gutu said his support for President Mnangagwa did not mean he was singing for his supper because his law firm was doing well.

“The cold, hard fact is that President Emmerson Mnangagwa is the President of Zimbabwe after he won the July 30, 2018 Presidential election. By the way, I’m not singing for my supper. I’m not bragging when I say that my law practice isn’t performing badly at all,” he said.

Instead of Chamisa and his MDC Alliance friends accepting the 2018 elections and start preparing for the 2023 election, they continue to waste time talking about the legitimacy crisis, hence their continued loss to Zanu PF in previous by-election

What MDC Alliance is hoping to achieve in its diplomatic offensive is to get the British and the international community to accept that Chamisa is the winner of the 2018 presidential race and help pressure President Mnangagwa to to pave way for Chamisa.

Chamisa and company are taking advantage of the worsening economic situation to pressure President Mnangagwa to share power.
