*Mwonzora Distances MDC-T From Court Application To Stop By-elections* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?kp MDC-T president Douglas Mwonzora has distanced his party from a Constitutional Court application by Tapera Sengweni, and three others, who are seeking to stop the 26 March by-elections. Sengweni, who is reportedly an MDC-T legal advisor and Mwonzora’s close ally, argued in his application that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) failed to hold elections within the 90-day timeframe prescribed by the laws of the country. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage $119 USD WhatsApp +263783450793 ---------- In a post on Twitter in which he tagged journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, Mwonzora said the MDC-T has nothing to do with the application and will not interfere with citizens seeking to assert their rights. He said: > The MDC-T has neither filed nor sponsored any court application to stop by-elections. The application being circulated has been filed by a group of 4 Zimbabweans. We do not interfere with Zimbabweans seeking to assert their rights. Responding to Mwonzora, Chin’ono described the MDC-T leader as “evil”. Said Chin’ono: > Dhaggi @DMwonzora we are not fools! At the heart of what you are doing is to prolong councils as dysfunctional so that your handlers can continue LOOTING councils without legitimate oversight > You are an EVIL man Dhaggi because what you are doing is literally killing Zimbabweans. In his founding affidavit, Tapera also argued that Zimbabwe cannot afford to hold by-elections this month and should wait for general elections that are due in 2023. He said: > As a small economy, Zimbabwe has financial challenges that are affecting the greater majority of its population. > The government is struggling to pay its employees a living wage. It is not prudent to drag the country into another plebiscite whose outcome does not change the numerical configuration of parliament in any way. *More: Pindula News* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
