Former MDC Alliance Organising Secretary Abednego Bhebhe has dumped the Nelson Chamisa led political outfit and re-joined the MDC T.
Bhebhe was expelled from the MDC T just a few days before the party’s Extra Ordinary Congress (EOC) held last year for allegedly supporting the MDC A.
A contact within the MDC T who spoke to this publication said that at the MDC T National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Harare on Saturday, that party resolved to readmit Bhebhe after he had written to that party’s leadership begging for readmission.
“The National Council considered and resolved to readmit everyone who has expressed desire to re-join the party. Notably, former National Organising Secretary Abednego Bhebhe and the former Deputy Chairperson for Bulawayo Province, Dorcas Sibanda, were duly re admitted into the party as per their expression of interest. The National Council reiterated that there would be no retribution,” said the contact.
The contact further said the NEC agreed that the MDC T should engage in developmental politics and desist from politics of retribution that is rampant in MDC Alliance.
According to the source, the NEC also ratified the resolutions of the last year’s EOC and formalized the appointment of Elias Mudzuri to the post of a second vice president.
“The president’s appointment and the full complement of National Executive members was ratified by the National Council. The National Council, sitting as an extension of Congress, moved to amend the MDC constitution to create the position of second vice president in the party. This was an effort to align the party constitution with that of the country as well as closing a leadership vacuum that has potential of creating instability within the party. In that regard, Mr Elias Mudzuri, is now officially the second vice president of the MDC T, with Dr Thokozani Khupe as the first vice president,” said the contact.
The contact added that the NEC restated that the party should have dialogue with ZANU PF and the Government.
According to the contact, the MDC T also resolved that the intended dialogue should be centred on those aspects that improve the lives of the Zimbabwean people.
