Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former MDC-T Harare provincial spokesperson Fungai Chiposi has dissociated himself from the party and thrown his weight behind CCC leader Nelson Chamisa.<\/p>\n

Chiposi was recently blocked from attending an MDC-T National Council meeting at Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House, the party\u2019s headquarters, by bouncers.<\/p>\n

Posting on Twitter this Thursday, Chiposi announced his decision to support Chamisa, saying he is not seeking to divide CCC. Chiposi wrote:<\/p>\n

The CCC movement is too robust to be divided by my vote. All I have expressed is my decision to support and vote for President Chamisa. There must be no fight over me. I am not worth it. This is my appeal.<\/p>\n

In a statement earlier this week, Chiposi, who ran as the party\u2019s candidate in Kambuzuma Constituency in the 26 March by-elections, revealed his alleged ill-treatment by MDC-T. He said:<\/p>\n

On Friday 1 April 2022 around 12 pm, I was barred from attending the National Council by security at MRT House.<\/p>\n

I was informed to contact Youth Chairperson Y. Musarurwa but she was not picking up her phone.<\/p>\n

Around 2 pm, I was contacted by the then Chairman Mhetu who asked me to come back to MRT as he would go in with me. However, he was also denied entry.<\/p>\n

I met Chairperson Musarurwa and asked her why I was barred and she told me in no uncertain terms to get out of the building. I duly complied.<\/p>\n

Later that evening, I was removed from all MDC-T Harare Province groups by Secretary Mukunguma.<\/p>\n

Notably, no one has explained to me why these actions were taken. I would like to think the party and its representatives have justification for the above drastic actions.<\/p>\n

Chiposi was reportedly blacklisted by the party on allegations of trying to lead a coup against MDC-T president Douglas Mwonzora.<\/p>\n
