The MDC party which is led by Welshman Ncube has revealed that it will not be holding primary elections to choose candidates for the 2018 harmonised elections. Instead, members will have to apply and get approval from the party’s National Council. MDC spokesperson Kurauone Chihwayi told Southern Eye
The MDC is ready for the big game anytime from now together with our alliance partners. The atmosphere in the camp is electric and everybody is raring to go.
I did not submit my name or application given that I stay in Harare as the party got two seats in the capital under the alliance agreement. The MDC will disclose names of both successful and unsuccessful applicants after an approval by the NC.
We are guided by the alliance agreement as a team member. We were allocated 32 seats as a party and applications for the 32 seats were invited at the beginning of the year. The MDC candidate selection process is at an advanced stage.
