Chamisa to wield axe on ‘power-hungry’ aspiring MPs

MDC Alliance presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa has threatened to wield the axe on the party’s two power-hungry aspiring MPs after they refused to amicably resolve their dual candidature ahead of next Monday’s polls.

The MDC Alliance fielded two candidates for the same seat for Bulawayo South, Francis Mangwendeza and Kunashe Muchemwa, in the constituency after nomination last month, a development which has caused confusion and division within the MDC Alliance camp.

Speaking at a rally in Bulawayo at the weekend, Chamisa said the two candidates should resolve their matter before the July 30 elections to avoid a split of MDC Alliance votes.
