*Statement on Congress business*

> The MDC successfully held its 5th National Congress from the 24th to the 27th of May 2019, in fulfilment of Constitutional requirements which provide for the holding of a Congress once every five years.

> The process had been on-going since March, with Branches, Wards, Districts and Provinces holding their Congresses in a process which had over 500 000 members participating.

> Going forward, the ten provinces will, starting from today convene Provincial Councils which are meant to elect five members to be appointed in the National Executive.

> The election must ensure gender balance.

> Members who also intend to be considered for appointment in the National Executive are to submit their profiles to the office of the Secretary-General. Those who apply must be members of good standing, and the applications must be submitted by the 8th of June.

> Consultations on appointments of remaining Standing Committee positions are ongoing. The party will also convene a special National Council to complete Congress business in line with Congress resolutions.

> Dates of the special National Council will be released in due course.
