Morgan Tsvangirai’s daughter, Vimbai says she will be
representing the MDC in Glen View elections.
She has confirmed to Newsday that she was the MDC-T
candidate for the area. She denied allegations that she was imposed on the
constituency.
“I am the candidate for the MDC-T Alliance and I was never
imposed,” she said. Asked on how she was selected she simply said: “I was never
imposed”.
But disgruntled party members warned that the MDC-T might
lose the seat to Zanu PF if Vimbai remained the party candidate.
“Glen View is under Zanu PF, which has been trying its best
to market itself in order to retain the constituency. Imposition of candidate
warrants voter apathy and disadvantages the party,” a letter addressed to
Chamisa read.
“As the leadership of Glen View South district, we felt
that you are not doing justice to both the constituency and ward 32, which are
under T Madzokere.
“Please be advised that (and) we quote, the electorate in
general is disgruntled, the structures are also aggrieved by the injustices
which you have exhibited in Glen View South constituency and ward 32.
“We want a democratic process of inclusive primary elections,
where a popular candidate must win. As Glen View South district leadership, we
humbly urge you to consider our grievances before it is too late.”
