The MDC-T National Council, the Supreme-decision-making
body in between Congresses met today deliberated on key issues affecting the
party. After seven hours of deliberations, the National Council
made the following resolutions.
1. The national council noted and acknowledged the fact
that the party has positively rebranded, is renewing and positively
re-energized its base and its organs as testified by the continued affirmation
and reinvigoration of its national strength and dominance; the evidence of
which is the hugely successful programmes where Zimbabweans at all levels are
participating in highly encouraging numbers. The people’s party of excellence
has confirmed itself as a revolutionary, democratic and patriotic movement
ready to provide national leadership.
2. On the issue of candidate selection for the watershed
2018 election, the National Council has received all Applications and CVs from
the provinces and districts. The process of candidate selection has kicked off
in earnest and all candidates will be in place by end of April.
3. The national council resolved that intercession prayers
for the party, the party leadership and all the people of Zimbabwe be held at
the party’s headquarters at Morgan Tsvangirai House and at every party
provincial office every Monday and Friday until after the elections.
4. On the unconstitutional behavior and illegal meetings by
the party’s senior leaders which threw the party into disrepute, the party made
the following resolutions:
a. On VP Khupe, the national council noted the efforts for
engagement made by the party President and the fact that VP Khupe remained
stubborn, obdurate, intransigent and spurned all party efforts to address her
grievances as she continued to hold illegal meetings and partake in
unconstitutional activities, putting the party into disrepute and undermining
the constitutional organs of the party. The national council therefore
resolved, by more than the mandatory two thirds of the vote that VP Khupe be
removed from the party in terms of the party constitution.
b. On National Chairperson Lovemore Moyo, the national
council formally accepted the resignation from the party by the national
chairman Mr Lovemore Ndodana Moyo which he has tendered to the leadership. The
council wished him well in all his future endeavors.
c. On organizing secretary Hon. Abednigo Bhebhe, the
national council by the more than the mandatory two thirds of the vote resolved
to remove him from the party on allegations of his unconstitutional behavior
and for continuously putting the party into disrepute.
d. On suspended party spokesperson Mr. Obert Chaurura Gutu,
the national council resolved by a unanimous vote to expel suspended party
spokesperson Mr Obert Chaurura Gutu.
e. The national council further resolved that those leaders
that have ceased to be members of the party but who are in Parliament, in
particular VP Khupe and Organizing Secretary Abednigo Bhebhe, be recalled with
immediate effect.
f. The party further resolved to communicate these latest
developments in the party to all stakeholders including, but not limited to,
the government of Zimbabwe, the parliament of Zimbabwe, civic society, the
Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, the diplomatic community and all party organs
and structures.
