Guns are out for under fire opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai as a meeting of the MDC-T was allegedly abandoned prematurely after the party’s vice president Thokozani Khuphe confronted her boss over his appointments of Nelson Chamisa and Elias Mudzuri as his additional deputies.
According to media report say Miss. Khupe raised a point of order as the meeting was getting underway.
She objected to the presence of both Mr. Chamisa and Mr. Mudzuri, who were controversially picked by the MDC-T leader a few weeks ago.
Khupe told Mr. Tsvangirai that his appointments were illegal as they violate the party constitution. The nominations have bloated the opposition executive and received strong condemnation from many sections.
Other Standing Committee members joined in, and those for fought in Khupe’s corner include organizing secretary Abednico Bhebhe, secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora, party chairman Lovemore Moyo, Lynnette Gore and party spokesman Obert Gutu.
Those who supported Tsvangirai are deputy treasurer Chalton Hwende, Amos Chibaya, deputy spokesperson Thabitha Khumalo and Murisi Zvizvai.
Morgan Komichi and Paurina Mupariwa remained neutral while Theresa Makone and Happymore Chidziva skipped the meeting.
After about 20 minutes of heated squabbling, Mr. Tsvangirai called off the meeting and referred it to the party’s National Council and National Executive.
