Former MDC vice president Morgen Komichi has assured MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa that he will live to a ripe old age if he respects the party’s Constitution.
Komichi made the remarks in the wake of a Tuesday Supreme Court ruling which invalidated Chamisa’s MDC presidency.
Komichi, who was Chamisa’s chief election agent in the 2018 presidential election, guaranteed Chamisa that he has high chances of winning the MDC top post at the envisaged extraordinary congress as he is popular. Said Komichi:
I call upon Honourable Nelson Chamisa to accept the court ruling and participate in the election processes.
He may actually win who knows. He is a popular guy why should he be afraid? He should actually shame the devil and he will live a long life if he respects the constitution and people will support him so much.
However, some commentators posit that Komichi is bitter after Chamisa did not offer him protection at the 2019 congress which saw him losing his bid for one of the vice-presidential posts.
Other analysts are of the view that Komichi is unaware that he is being used by ZANU PF to destroy the MDC or at worst, his hands were greased by the ruling party to destroy the opposition.
