Chamisa's Challengers Will Be Throwing Themselves In Political Dustbin- Chibaya

MDC Alliance national organising secretary Amos Chibaya warned party members wishing to challenge Nelson Chamisa, saying they risked plunging themselves into the political dustbin.

Chibaya said this while addressing a feedback meeting in his Mkoba constituency in Gweru on Saturday. He also dismissed In Defense of Morgan Tsvangirai Legacy (DTML)’s claim that Chamisa’s term as interim president had expired and that a new leader must be appointed. Said Chibaya:

We saw on ZBC-TV someone saying MDC must now immediately go for congress and sensationally claiming that Chamisa’s term has expired. That is cheap propaganda and dirty political grandstanding. I am the owner of all party structures as the organiser. The party president’s term is still on. Chamisa was born in 1978. That is the same year that Morgan Tsvangirai’s first born, Edwin, was born. So, in short, Chamisa is Tsvangirai’s first born left to lead the family of the MDC. In short, once you begin to think that Chamisa must be removed from the helm at the congress, you should realise that your ancestors have forsaken you and you have lost your senses. Chamisa is the man of the moment from the grassroots going up and anyone wishing to challenge him will just be throwing themselves in the political dustbin.
