1] This gets exciting

Another episode in the MDC-T drama

Had an engagement with a fellow citizen on these very streets earlier today, on the current legal standing of the MDC-T party.

Will get back to what we agreed on, but first...some bit of perspective on how we are here..
2] The Supreme Court ruling, according to Mwonzora himself, extended the 2014 MDC-T Congress officials terms of office which otherwise expired 5 years post that.

According to his logic, the terms of office were extended solely to allow for the preparation & holding of a EOC..
3] In his post SC ruling submission, Mwonzora accepted that his term of office had expired

He further accepted that the 3-4 months extension could not go beyond that.

It became apparent that the MDC-T, in compliance with the ruling, hold the EOC without fail..
4] In the 2nd tweet, those with an analytic eye observed something key

i.e. the purpose of the extensions

it was solely for the holding of the EOC,

Without leadership foresight, DM embarked on an ill-fated fyt with the MDC-ALLIANCE & fake resurrection of the ALLIANCE AGREEMENT
5] Consequently, the MDC-T Leadership lost focus

▪they concentrated more on trying to control another institution's representatives

▪concentrated on getting its finances

▪concentrated on getting buried a HH

▪more regrettably, they concentrated on outsmarting each other
6] Based on the developments today, it's clear that someone was playing smart

I'm more than convinced that Dougie misled Dr Khupe as i argued in the thread & picture attached here

The Constitutionalist himself is a sly, cunning & dangerous schemer.

7] It's not difficult to see that DM won't be in support of a variation order that extents Dr TK's interim Presidency

as it stands, TK & MK failed to fulfil the court ruling

DM is now positioning himself as the undisputed Leader of the MDC-T as he's the next senior official.
8] But all this is politics, & it's to be expected

the key question is, in line with Dougie's logic post the SC ruling, what is the legal position of the MDC-T party?

Well it's simply..

Before & without a court variation, their 2014 extended terms of office have RE-EXPIRED!
9] So as i post this, Mwonzora cannot masquerade as MDC-T SG

His term of office expired in 2019

the extension he got at the courts expired on the last day of July.

in any case, as i tweet this, their urgent application for the variation was dismissed

they must then wait
10] The follow-up question then is, will they comply?

In fact, the citizen i engage with earlier actually asked "so does this mean they will stop recalling MDC-A MPs"?

The answer is an emphatic NO!!

It will be business as usual till a variation that might come in 2024!
11] Its wishful thinking to expect constitutionalism from someone recalling MPs that belong to another party

Someone who uses state security to repossess a building

Someone who accepts PPFA funds in defiance of a ruling

Someone who accepts a nomination from an illegal caucus
12] But more than ever, the MDC-ALLIANCE shouldn't loose focus

focus should remain on the current socio-political developments in the country

focus should remain on rebranding,,,away from this MDC toxicity

let the fake pro-regime constitutionalists destroy each other

enkosi!!
