He said:<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 we will work hard to change the politics of Zimbabwe. We are going to do away with the politics of hate, rancour and acrimony, as well as intolerance \u2014 and substitute all that with the politics of rational disputation and tolerance.<\/p>\n<p>Chamisa is not my enemy. Chalton Hwende is not my enemy. Welshman Ncube is not my enemy. Mnangagwa is not my enemy. My enemy is poverty, joblessness.<\/p>\n<p>Our party, therefore, needs new leadership with proven skills to negotiate and dialogue with political opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court in March ordered the MDC-T to elect the substantive successor to the late founding president Morgan Tsvangirai after nullifying Nelson Chamisa\u2019s ascendency in 2018 saying the move was in breach of the party\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n<p>The other candidates are acting president Thokozani Khupe, national chairperson Morgen Komichi and former national organising secretary Elias Mudzuri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
