In Defense of Morgan Tsvangirai Legacy (IDTML) has said MDC president Nelson Chamisa’s term of office as interim president has expired and should stop representing the opposition.

IDTML says Chamisa should pave way for an extra-ordinary congress to appoint a new president as stipulated by the MDC constitution. The group says Chamisa’s tenure expired at midnight of 14 of February 2019 as stipulated in article 9.21.1 of the MDC constitution.
