1/9 In a shocking 3 Jan 2022 letter to @ZECzim, @OurMDCT President @DMwonzora says his party will contest 26 March 2022 by-elections as MDC-Alliance, of which he falsely says he's the President, allegedly based on the 2017 Alliance pre-2018 election pact!

2/9 If allowed by @ZECzim or the courts to appease @edmnangagwa; the quest by Hon @DMwonzora & his @OurMDCT to contest the 26 March 2022 by-elections as MDC-A would confirm Zim as a PARIAH STATE. The quest has no basis in the expired 2017 multiparty pact!

3/9 Hon @DMwonzora and his @OurMDCT present their quest to contest the by-elections as a LEGAL MATTER, premised on the 2017 pre-2018 election pact, but their ARGUMENTS ARE ALL PROPAGANDA based on an Agreement that expired long ago when the 2017 Alliance did not form Govt in 2018!

4/9 The 2017 pre-election Alliance pact that expired in 2018, after the Alliance did not win the poll to form a govt which would have extended the pact to 2023, had one & clear identity which was to use, NOT A COMMON NAME but a COMMON ELECTION ELECTION SYMBOL for all candidates!

5/9 The expired 2017 Alliance pact says "each alliance partner candidate shall seek nomination at the Nomination Court under its name but using the ALLIANCE COMMON SYMBOL"; yet @DMwonzora's ZEC letter lists only @OurMDCT officials to approve nominations; even for OTHER PARTIES!

6/9 Falsely, @DMwonzora & @OurMDCT say the expired pact provided that the leader of the Alliance would be the MDC-T leader. No. It said the "PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE" would be the "BEST INDIVIDUAL who can win the election" & specifically named that individual as MORGAN TSVANGIRAI!

7/9 In his letter to @ZECzim, Hon @DMwonzora says he is President of the MDC-Alliance; but the expired 2017 pre-election pact did not create OFFICES or OFFICERS; it only provided for ELECTION CANDIDATES; Tsvangirai was the presidential candidate, not President, of the Alliance!

8/9 As a result of the Supreme Court judgment of 31 March 2020 in the Mashavira case, Hon @DMwonzora is debatably Tsvangirai's successor as MDC-T leader; but it is not debatable that he did not and could not inherit Tsvangirai's popularity as the "BEST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE"!

9/9 All told @OurMDCT's claim to the MDC-A name is based on a non-existent 2017 pre-election Alliance Agreement that expired in 2018; and Hon @DMwonzora's claim that he is President of the MDC-A is based on a non-existent office, not even in the 2017 pre-2018 election Agreement!
