Job Sikhala says some unpopular MDC bigwigs are manipulating
the electoral process to avoid primary elections.
He raged on Facebook :”Some people think we are not seeing
their back stabbing and betrayal actions against our young President Nelson
Chamisa. These are people who are:
1) Removing other candidates' names from the contesting
panel so that their weak and unwanted surrogates avoid primary elections and
stand a chance to stand as a party's candidate.
2) These are people who want to impose themselves through
chicanery knowing well they have got no support. They name drop the President's
name as if they are friends when in actual truth they are not.
3) These are the people who want to build their empire for
the future eye of an office. So they are building false fiefdoms through trying
to impose those they think are their own and blame shift to the young
President.
MDC is a party founded on democracy and all its tenets and
material elements. The actions of these people are purely to create a huge
constituency of disenchantment from the general membership and supporters of
the party so that they become apathetic at the forthcoming national polls, to
the disadvantage of our march to freedom.
President Chamisa has now taken a position that no member
of the party should be corruptly removed from contesting. I applaud this
decision because leaders take positions. That's why I always agreed with our
late leader Morgan Tsvangirai when it comes to taking decisions. No matter how
you will disagree with his decision, it did not deter him from taking a
decision. Decisions are taken after serious considerations.
The unpopular candidates are currently on the desperate
tactics to corruptly get their contestants removed from the race. It will not
happen and people will defend their right to have a candidate of their choice
to represent the party not removed. I feel pity for the trauma those whose
names were removed without explanation are currently going through.
I saw one grown up man collapsing when his name was removed
through the chicanery of those contesting against him. The old man is now in
psychological trauma that I think he needs counselling. Let everyone interested
be given the opportunity to be exposed to the people. Democracy in motion.
