MDC-T extends primaries deadline

OPPOSITION MDC-T has resolved to extend the deadline for its primary elections to end of this week to allow for aggrieved party members to lodge their appeals.

The party commenced its candidate selection with a consensus process that largely failed to deliver the intended results, forcing it to hold primary elections which were also marred by irregularities and violence.

In an interview yesterday, MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora said the huge number of appeals by party members was an indication of democracy at work.
