Dr Thokozani Khupe says she is now preparing to hold an extraordinary congress for the MDC.
“I have had extensive consultations with different stakeholders and constituencies and all are determined to take our party back from the toxic claws of the infamous ‘G40’.
“Very soon all the delegates of our 2014 congress will have an opportunity to once again retain our movement to its former glorious days of steadfastness to the culture, character, values and principles of social democracy,” she said in a statement.
She said the party welcomes the appeal of the High Court judgment by Mr Chamisa because they respect the country’s rule of law.
“Frivolous as it is, at least it is a departure from the slippery slope posture of impugning the judiciary every time the judgment is not favourable to one’s subjective democracy.
“We have a lot of legal and political options we can employ moving forward and l want the membership to take courage in that our strength is derived from our strong commitment to constitutionalism and democratic values and processes.
“There is therefore no need to panic or even employ money and energy in stopping some gathering purported to be our ‘congress’ as such a gathering is null and void and only amounts to a jamboree.
“I urge all our cadres to remain vigilant, loyal and dedicated to the values of our struggle and the character and culture of our movement during this time. Rest assured, victory is certain,” said Dr Khupe.
