I Was Forced To Stand As An Independent After MDC-T Failed Me: Bulawayo Mayor

Bulawayo Mayor Councillor Martin Moyo has said that he resorted to contest as an independent candidate after the MDC-T led by Nelson Chamisa reportedly failed him. Moyo accused the MDC-T of imposing a preferred target at his expense. Said Moyo,

There were certain party processes that were not followed and I assumed they would be concluded favourably but that was not the case. There was a lot of hide and seek that took place within the party and things were not done in a clear manner…When this confusion came about I could not secure signatures to take my papers to the Nomination Court under the MDC-T banner so I ended up standing as an independent candidate. They had signed papers for their preferred candidate behind my back so I could not stand as the candidate under the same party that had shown me I was not wanted.
