1] Apparently the judicially constructed MDC-T won the Marondera Council Mayor vote.

If you're thinking Khupe just got one over Chamisa, it's the exact opposite

This is another win which should embarrass any normal politician.

This should be a bitter-sweet moment for the MDC-T

2] As of the 2018 results, the MDC-ALLIANCE got 11 votes & ZanuPF got 1.

The MDC-T then recalled 5 MDC-ALLIANCE Councillors and still got 3, from the remaining 6.

Put differently, the MDC-T actually had 3 councillors, MDC-ALLIANCE 8 & ZanuPF 1

Knowing this, they recalled the 5

3] You can't run alone & still claim to be a winner.

The MDC-T removed all threats & still needed support from the ZanuPF councilor

This reminded me of the 2008 run-off where Mugabe ran against himself.

Even his closest allies in their Dictators' Club couldn't stand with him.

4] Democracy entails availing self to electoral processes

The MDC-T is a threat to democracy

This has been the experience of Zimbos

Zanu has systematically neutralized the Opp by disenfranchising its supporters especially in urban cities where the voters' role is tempered with

5] With State power at their disposal, one wonders what the MDC-T will do to have it their way

This isn't orthodox political scheming, but a sick power-retention-at-all-cost mentality synonymous with ZanuPF

MDC-T is going out of it's way to force themselves on the electorate

6] Put into context, how can you celebrate being a Mayor because of 4 votes out of a possible 12?

I was never got at Maths, but even i know that 4 out of 12 isn't a pass

But i guess it is when you have the MDC-T level of desperation where you claim someone's party, MPs & votes

7] Yet the ball remains in Advocate @nelsonchamisa's court.

This nonsense has to be stopped.

It has dragged on for far too long.
And unless there is a strong response, the madness will continue.

The @mdczimbabwe needs to show that they have teeth and they can bite.

enkosi!!
