1] Around the 20th of May, the 2014 #NationalCouncil of the MDC-T petitioned the holding of a #NationalCouncil meeting to discuss the infamous #CovidRuling and the way forward.

Predictably, #Mwonzora rubbished the calls for the meeting & even demanded that it be suspended.
2] Regardless of #Mwonzora's whistle in the wind, the #NC meeting went ahead.

It subsequently made resolutions, key amongst them, cautioning DM to stop speaking on their behalf & acting unilaterally.

A petition was signed to have DM call for a #NC meeting on the 6th of June.
3] One would observe that, since the #CovidJudgement, the 2014 #MDC-T #NC has not met.

Mwonzora has been pushing this narrative that #Khupe,#Komichi & himself can organize the EOC on their own.

Predictably, Mwonzora rubbished the NC meeting calling it illegal & inconsequential.

1] Law can be quite confusing

The #ConstitutionalCourt led by #JusticeMalaba found that #Chamisa was #President to a party which had participated at the polls and was known as MDC-A according to its electoral and legal documents before his court.

Shelve that...
2] #JusticePartel observed that the fights pertaining to the rise of NC in the MDC-T had become moot since he had held a Congress & was undisputed leader of that party which participated at the polls, & MaKhupe had done the same.

#JusticePartel still ordered a fresh #Congress
3] #JusticeManongwa at the #HighCourt grants an interim order to stop #MaKhupe from received money owed to the MDC-A.

The ruling effectively recognized the political existence of the MDC-A, separate to the MDC-T, whether as part of it, or a separate entity all together.

1] At face value, you would think, we need to fully open #Parliament.

Gov needs to be kept on check.

Policy discussion & dissemination of info,all point towards the need to #ReopenZimParliament

However,the more you watch it, the less you're convinced we need Parliament at all.
2] Was laughing at #Mwonzora as he castigated #MDC_A #MPs who have defied his court granted authority, to continue going to #Parliament.

His argument was, gvt needs to be kept in check.

A few hours back, #ZiyambiZiyambi had embarrassingly belittled him in that same #Parliament.
3] If #Mwonzora is to be honest with himself, he hasn't achieved anything in that #Parliament as #Senator.

Not even because he isn't effective, but because the people they are supposed to be playing #watchdog on, are just unrelenting.

You barely see any meaningful engagements.

1] As citizens wait patiently for the #HighCourt ruling on the matter regarding #MDC_T's parenthood of the #MDC_A, i fail to see how the judgement changes anything really.

This is because the #MDC_A is now a political party.
Something which a court can neither confirm nor deny.
2] The crux of this matter is more #political than it is #legal.

Though #Mwonzora & team were arguing today that the #MDC_A was an #electoral pact which merely now exists as some faction of the #MDC, only a week ago, he had people recalled for joining a party called "#MDC_A".
3] Although #Mwonzora was argues the MDC-A is a 2018 coalition, which ceased to exist post elections, nothing suggest the "individual parties" continued existing as such.

For post 2018 bi-elections,what strategy was used to choose candidates if the parties remained autonomous?

1] The biggest beneficiary of the recall of #MDC_A MPs from Parliament is none other than @nelsonchamisa and his party.

This hopefully is a long awaited wake up call.
The first move is to stop the call for #Dialogue

#ZanuPF is only interested in consuming the opposition.
2] Its preposterous & embarrassing for die hard DM supporters to justify how he recalled 4 MPs for "joining MDC ALLIANCE" yet he maintains such a party doesn't exist.

How did they join a non existing party?
How do you fire people for joining an electoral pact you allegedly lead?
3] How do you justify that #DrKhupe who contested the last polls as MDC-T President has recalled representatives of a party that was equally on the ballot paper?

How do you tell people in Kuwadzana you fired @hwendec for joining "MDC-A" yet that's what was on the ballot?
