MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa said he was not losing sleep over manoeuvres by the Thokozani Khupe-led MDC-T to decimate his MDC Alliance.<\/p>\n
Mnangagwa last week formally recognised Khupe as the official leader of the opposition after the former deputy prime minister sneaked back into Parliament under controversial circumstances.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have time for Khupe and Douglas Mwonzora (interim MDC-T secretary-general),\u201d Chamisa said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know they are simply playing a script handed to them by Zanu-PF, enforced by captured institutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are going nowhere. In fact, they are history. People always settle political disputes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khupe is using a Supreme Court ruling that said she was the legitimate interim leader of the MDC-T after she was elbowed out in the battle to succeed the late Morgan Tsvangirai by Chamisa.<\/p>\n
The MDC Alliance, however, insists that it broke ranks with Khupe before the 2018 elections and she has no right to take over legislators and councillors of a party that defeated her in the polls.<\/p>\n
