MDC leader Nelson Chamisa says he does not want to be challenged
ever again for the presidency in the party.
“I thank you for giving me 13 nominations. I think this is
the trajectory that we should always have, giving the president a clean mandate
in the same manner we used to give our late icon Tsvangirai a clean mandate. We
never went to congress where he was contested, not even one. I hope you will
give me that same hand,” he said in Gweru in his acceptance speech.
Newsday reports that the next congress is likely to be
explosive if the MDC fails to wrest State power from Zanu PF after they passed
a sweeping constitutional amendment removing two extra vice-presidents.
Congress affirmed that they would only have one VP and do
away with the other two.
Such a move might see recently elected VPs Welshman Ncube,
Tendai Biti and Lynnette Karenyi Kore eyeing the presidency.
