The Douglas Mwonzora led MDC has castigated former party national Chairperson Morgen Komichi and warned him to desist from using their party’s name.
This comes after Komichi recently met party supporters in Epworth, claiming to have been strategizing to make the MDC “great again”.
“Epworth MDC Coordinators met with the National Chairperson Senator Morgen Komichi today. These Guys passionately want to become Great Again. They are planning something BIG,” said Komichi on X.
However, MDC Spokesperson Chengetai Guta lambasted Komichi’s and ridiculed the image of the former party chairperson and 15 supporters as insane.
A founding member of the once powerful MDC, Komichi cut a lonely figure considering the thousands who used to lend him an ear during late leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s days or more recently, before he dumped Nelson Chamisa.
Komichi dumped Chamisa together with MDC President Douglas Mwonzora before the two fell out last year.
Despite initially announcing the formation of UMDC, a splinter party to the MDC, and building an alliance with DUZ, Komichi maintains he is the latter’s National Chairperson.
“He voluntarily left the MDC to form the UMDC and clearly because there was no traction he decided to join Robert Chapman’s DUZ where he became their senatorial candidate in the 2023 plebiscite,” said Guta.
“He is the same Komichi who then came back after discovering there was nothing for him at DUZ only to again start bringing the name of our party into disrepute.
“The man should just stop all the madness for the sake of his sanity and integrity. He has never been in a stable state of mind after losing at the 5th Ordinary Congress which he oversaw as the then National Chairperson.”
Komichi lost at the MDC Alliance’s Gweru Congress of 2019, where he sought to be elected Vice President.
He then lost at the MDC T congress in 2023, where he ran for the Chairman’s post.
