Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Political commentator Davis Laque has warned Nelson Chamisa against succumbing to pressure and agreeing to revive MDC Alliance structures in the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party. Chamisa once led the MDC Alliance until 2020 when the Supreme Court ruled that he was not the legitimate leader of the party.<\/p>\n

Sengezo Tshabangu, who claims to be the interim Secretary-General of the CCC, argues that the MDC Alliance transformed itself into the CCC and therefore can revert to its previous structures to resolve the leadership crisis in the CCC. Tshabangu says CCC uses social media handles that were previously used by the MDC Alliance and believes that\u2019s evidence to prove the link between CCC and the MDC Alliance.<\/p>\n

However, Laque finds it unimaginable to revoke the name MDC and attempt to resolve a \u201cnon-existent\u201d leadership issue within the CCC. He says Tshabangu alleges that CCC is the electoral name of the MDC Alliance, which resets the leadership structure of the MDC-A party. Laque suggests that this narrative serves the interests of individuals seeking positions and the ZANU PF regime, \u201cwhich funds Tshabangu.\u201d He warns that if CCC presents itself as the MDC-A party, it would be in violation of the Supreme Court judgment and \u201cwould have dire consequences.\u201d He said:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a school of thought that says, @nelsonchamisa should simply give in, realign with the Tshabangu cabal & go to Congress, because he will \u201cwin anyway\u201d. The counter question is, win what? There\u2019s no leadership question within CCC, requiring a MDC-A Congress to resolve.<\/p>\n

In any case, we already witnessed Dr Khupe being used as \u201cActing Pres\u201d to sanitize the Mwonzora scheming which originally had been developed not to benefit her nor whatever she thought were shared interest When she eventually realized she was being played, it was too late.<\/p>\n

In any case, Tshabangu\u2019s court case has actually exposed what he is alleging There is nothing in the papers he provided in court, to legally sustain that the MDC-A party still exists through CCC Him producing a rashly edited MDC-T constitution doesn\u2019t help his case either<\/p>\n

Laque also said there are some who are suggesting that Nelson Chamisa could use Tshabangu\u2019s claims against him by reviving the MDC-A through Chalton Hwende as the last recognised Secretary-General. He warned that while this may seem like a way to bypass Tshabangu, it would actually create a crisis that traps CCC. Laque says the Harare regime is trying to trap Chamisa, so any attempt to temporarily revive the MDC-A would have two consequences. Firstly, the state of the CCC after the 23-24 harmonised elections would be lost. Secondly, it would reignite the name disputes within the MDC.<\/p>\n
