Dr Thokozani Khupe has roped in renowned constitutional
lawyer, Professor Lovemore Madhuku to implement the High Court ruling which
nullified Nelson Chamisa’s MDC presidency and ordered the opposition party to
hold an extraordinary congress within a month.
In an interview with the ZBC News, Professor Madhuku
confirmed that he has been engaged by the opposition party to implement the
high court ruling which declared Dr Khupe the legitimate president for the
troubled party.
“After being engaged by Dr Khupe, who has been declared the
legitimate MDC president by the court, I have started studying the judgment on
how best to implement it,” said Professor Madhuku.
He said Chamisa and his team of lawyers, led by Advocate
Thabani Mpofu, can claim it will be a stroll in the park to contest the High
Court ruling, but the reality is that Chamisa has been rendered a political
novice who can form his own party. Chamisa is somebody but nobody to claim the
MDC presidency, the ruling is clear and his lawyers know better that he has
been rendered a somebody who can form his own party where he can declare
himself
president,” added Professor Madhuku.
The sentiments by Professor Madhuku follow another
revelation by MDC Secretary General, Douglas Mwonzora in which he begged to
differ with Chamisa and his legal teams High Court challenge.
Chamisa is also under fire from the Morgan Tsvangirai
Legacy, which was the main force behind the High Court application to call for
an MDC extra-ordinary congress.
