Reinstated MDC-T secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora has dismissed a reconvened 2014 MDC-T National Council meeting held at the party's headquarters Thursday as "illegal" in the unfolding political drama that seems to be ripping the main opposition apart.
On Thursday, at Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House, the MDC-T headquarters, formerly known as Harvest, 158 party officials met and ordered their acting president, Thokozani Khupe, Mwonzora, and chairperson Morgen Komichi to stop - with immediate effect - acting on behalf of the "former MDC and its organs".
Mwonzora was also accused of illegally acting in recalling MPs of another party - the MDC Alliance.
However, addressing journalists at MDC Senator Elias Mudzuri's residence in Milton Park, Mwonzora said Thursday's meeting was illegal and had no status.
Mwonzora said Thursday's meeting was an attempt by the MDC Alliance members to derail the holding of the MDC-T planned extraordinary congress set for 31 July in accordance with the Supreme Court ruling the party should elect a new leader to replace late founding president Morgan Tsvangirai.
