MDC-T Byo dumps Khupe

THE MDC-T Bulawayo province on Saturday turned its back on deputy president, Thokozani Khupe, and declared its allegiance to acting party president Nelson Chamisa as internal fighting over Morgan Tsvangirai succession escalates.

This came as Khupe and co-vice-president Elias Mudzuri recently refused to recognise Chamisa’s recent appointment as acting MDC-T president.
MDC-T Bulawayo provincial spokesperson, Felix Magalela Sibanda on Saturday said the province stood solidly behind Chamisa, giving a major boost to the latter’s support base as the country’s second city has always been regarded as Khupe’s forte.
