Thokozani Khupe has cancelled
the extraordinary congress which was slated for today charging that the voters roll
was in shambles.
In October, the MDC-T was given up to 30 November to hold
the extraordinary congress to select a new leader after missing the July deadline
due to COVID-19 restrictions. Khupe is facing off with Mwonzora, party national
chairman Morgen Komichi and his deputy Elias Mudzuri.
Mwonzora was reportedly pushing for the use of a new
voter’s roll while Khupe’s camp brought a roster of members from 2014. There
were also allegations that transport money was not released on time to allow
delegates to travel to the voting centres today, with scant communication on
the centres where polls would be held.
Komichi in the afternoon confirmed the disagreements over
voters roll, despite claiming he was happy with the preparations of the
congress. “The preparations of the congress are going on well. We have no
complaints but we are yet to agree on the voters’ roll. We haven’t seen it but
we will give you an update,” Komichi said.
