1] When your own lies & propaganda start catching up with you...
Mwonzora claims the 2017 MDC-A Coalition still exists, whose Principals endorsed his Leadership takeover.
So many months later, noone knows who these MDC-A Principals are.
No pictures.
No signed media statements.
2] Everything about the political behaviour of this Mwonzora MDC-A, clearly shows its different from the 2017 pre-election agreement.
Both MaKhupe & Prof @Welshman_Ncube were right to say "Mwonzora has formed his own MDC-A"
Simple case in point is the "allocation of seats".
3] Mwonzora has claimed that PDP led by Matibenga is responsible for recalling MPs such as Biti, Chikwinya, Madzimure because they were allocated those seats.
Fast forward to 2022, all "MDC-A coalition" by-elections candidates are coming from MDC-T.
How then is it a coalition?
4] For reference, @OurMDCT is fielding candidates in 3 constituencies, actually allocated to PDP as per their agreement. (never mind that Mabitenga was with Mujuru's coalition)
These candidates are @FungaiChiposi in Kambuzuma, Mbanga in Harare East & Eventhough Mapfumo in Mbizo
5] Need I add, my brother @FungaiChiposi's candidature is on its own problematic.
His candidature violates @OurMDCT constitution, which stipulates selection criteria, which he doesn't meet.
He was co-opted late 2020, & therefore hasn't been a member for the required 5+ years.
6] @DMwonzora has also been exposed through their inability to find candidates in some wards & constituencies.
How does it happen that a supposedly "7 party coalition" will have difficulties finding 26 MP & 143 council candidates when they created these vacancies themselves?
7] Mwonzora has tried to creatively explain this away, claiming they've successfully attained "90% Constitutency & 75% Council candidates" hoping to trick his audience into seeing this as impressive.
It's political blasphemy, forcefully linking these stunts with MT.
Marara aya.
8] The @DMwonzora (mis)led outfit has been exposed through their unprecedented desperation to hold on to the same people they "fired" & dared to 'form their own party'.
Instead of campaign to win (something beyond their reach), they are focusing on recalling their opponents.
9] Another lie & propaganda has been on the "66%" win for @DMwonzora
@MKomichi is exposing that @OurMDCT can't win any election, but should be voted for, so that they can "dialogue with ZanuPF" and form a GNU.
Was MDC formed for this?
What sort of campaigning is this?
😳
10] The jokes keep writing themselves, but we are only getting started.
"After a nervy period of unsureness & deliberation, the political midwives eventually attended to the arrival of the CCC on the 24th of Jan 2022. That date earned a place in the history of party politics in Zimbabwe when MDC-A underwent a metamorphosis into CCC"
2] Dr Magaisa:
"Those who live through moments of history do not usually grasp their significance. It's those who look back and therefore have the advantage of hindsight, who can appreciate the weight of such moments."

"It was like that hard moment of a farmer realising that although he loves his animal so much, the best option because it is broken beyond healing, is to put it to sleep. That way he spares it the excruciating pain and himself, the agony of watching it suffer."
1] Been taking time, like most citizens, to encourage fellow citizens to #RegisterToVote2023 as well as encouraging that citizens check their registration status.
Have realised a few challenges being encountered to this regards, as well as some information gap.
Voter registration is a all year round exercise. ZEC ordinarily has some 63 District offices & 10 Provincial officers allover the country, where one can register to vote.
Baring challenges affecting ZEC, registration itself is a continous exercise.
This exercise has ZEC introducing "mobile registration" campaigns, meaning that registration centers are brought closer to our homes to compliment their Provincial & District offices.
It's important that all eligible voters take advantage of this.
1] I invite fellow citizens to go through this short article by my brother, @DavidHofisi
After having gone through it myself, I share some personal thoughts over the same, particularly the key issues the author raises, in light of possible "illegalities" facing CCC party...
2] @DavidHofisi, a summary of one of the issues you raised, is on the constitutional provision allowing for the desolution of MDC-A party as per their constitution.
First concern is, you make no direct reference of the actual MDC-A constitution, but rather a MDC constitution.
3] It then somewhat sounds bizarre for me, for a seasoned lawyer, to actually pretend to quote a specific provision of the MDC-A constitution, by actually quoting a MDC constitutional provision (on dissolution).
This legal entanglement actually answers the question you asked.
MDC-T fights have predictable spilled into the courts over money.
However, all indications thus far, are the regime has choosen the Dougie faction, something MaKhupe predicted on her presser
State institutions may very well pounce on her this time around
2] Embarrassingly, none between Mwonzora & Khupe are legitimate recipients of the 2018 PPFA funds.
The MaKhupe MDC-T that participated in 2018 didn't get enough votes.
Mwonzora meanwhile manufactured "2014" structures to form a party, post the infamous Supreme Court judgement.
3] On the part of the regime, the rational is arming any faction that can assist in dismembering Chamisa.
No need to beat about the busy, democracy is expensive, & a party needs funds
The motivation for ZanuPF is ensure the alternative is hamstrung while oiling Mwonzora's group
"This afternoon we approached ZEC to give them what they didn't except. They thought we were approaching as MDC-A, but we were approaching as a new organisation. They kept insisting, we know you as MDC-A. We are a new organisation."
"We are coming as a new entity, with a new leadership, new values, new structures. ZEC kept saying: 'tell us you're rebranding'. We are not rebranding. If you know MDC as a brand, please dine with those you've given the name MDC-ALLIANCE."
"We are starting a new party. Nothing to do with the past, nothing to do with the yesterday. We are starting afresh. We'll build from ground zero. We will start afresh. We will defeat them like we did in 2018. We will start afresh."
