MDC Alliance legislators on Wednesday boycotted the meeting that had been called by the leader of the MDC-T, Thokozani Khupe.<\/p>\n

The meeting was held at Harvest House christened Morgan Tsvangirai House and less than 20 legislators are reported to have attended.<\/p>\n

The meeting came immediately after Khupe had recalled yesterday 13 MDC Alliance MPs, a move described by some as a strategy premised at forcing defiant MDC Alliance members to bend the knee.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the meeting, the deputy spokesman of the MDC-T, Khaliphani Phugeni told reporters that the meeting was well attended.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe caucus was well-attended, we had 30 plus MPs here, I don\u2019t have their names but I will share the videos with you, it was amazing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Khupe claims that following the Supreme Court ruling on the leadership crisis in the MDC, the 103 MDC Alliance legislators now belong to MDC-T.<\/p>\n

The majority of the MPs have stood with Khupe\u2019s nemesis, Nelson Chamisa whom they view as their legitimate leader.<\/p>\n

MDC Alliance accuses Khupe of dining with the ruling ZANU PF, a development they say was proof that the MDC-T was not a genuine opposition but an appendage of the ruling party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
