MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa will this weekend date
his Chitungwiza grassroots supporters in an ongoing consultation exercise to
map the way forward following the disputed July 30 harmonised elections.
The MDC-T’s national council resolved to embark on a
whirlwind consultation exercise in order to come up with a collective way
forward in the aftermath of the Constitutional Court ruling that dismissed
Chamisa’s petition to overturn President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s victory.
Chamisa was supposed to address his supporters in Kwekwe
last week, but was blocked by the police who cited public health concerns.
His spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda said although they
failed in Kwekwe, the consultations went on well in other places and they would
be in Chitungwiza on Saturday.
“The president gave an instruction last Thursday for these
consultations to be carried out over the last weekend and we are informed that
all his emissaries covered the whole country over the weekend and only Masvingo
is the outstanding province which will be finished this week,” Sibanda said.
“The president himself will be travelling to Chitungwiza
this weekend carrying out those consultations and we hope that this will
continue.
“As you know, we are having problems with police clearance,
but we have taken specific action to ensure that everyone is consulted at the
structures are all levels and provide a report to him.”
“The president will be in Chitungwiza on August 8, this
Saturday. As for other areas, he is receiving reports starting from today
(Wednesday) and then based on those he will make a decision to map the way
forward,” he said.
From its resolution, the MDC Alliance said it would consult
Zimbabweans across the country and thereafter, embark on a national programme
of action resulting from the outreach. Newsday
