Was Mwonzora part of the plot all along?

CONSTITUTIONAL Amendment No 2 Bill, which seeks to abolish the clause on running mates among 26 others which are enshrined in the Constitutional Amendment (No 20) Act adopted after a referendum in 2013 on Tuesday, sailed through the Lower House by a 191 to 22 majority.

The Bill was supported by Members of Parliament from Senator Douglas Mwonzora’s MDC-T formation, and Zanu PF, and is now awaiting its reading in the Senate.

Mwonzora since, taking over power from the interim leader Thokozani Khupe following a Supreme Court ordered extraordinary congress in December last year, has said he has dumped the politics of confrontation in favour of dialogue with the ruling Zanu PF party.
