MDC Alliance co-vice president Welshman Ncube has said the Thokozani Khupe-led MDC-T will not be able to hold an extraordinary congress as it lacks the required quorum.
In an interview with CITE, Ncube said Khupe, Douglas Mwonzora and Morgen Komichi cannot implement the Supreme Court judgement which declared that Khupe is the legitimate MDC-T acting president because the 2014 structures are no longer there.
The majority of the people who were in the structures are now within the MDC Alliance structures. Said Ncube:
Unless they create fake structures they are incapable of implementing that Supreme Court judgement because those 2014 structures in 2018 they didn’t exist.
If they go to individuals to say we want to put you in structures those individuals will say we don’t want because they are members of the MDC Alliance, they are not interested in this Zanu PF project, it is an impossibility it can’t be done.
They can’t convene a meeting of the National Council with a quorum, they cannot hold a congress without a quorum. Remember that congress will require two-thirds of congress members for you to have congress. Where are they going to get it from?
Mwonzora is however on record saying if people decided to boycott the congress, a decision will be made on their behalf by others.
