MDC -A Withdraws All MP's Job Sikhala FULL SPEECH
They want the
MDC Alliance to join POLAD. They want the MDC Alliance president Advocate
Nelson Chamisa to accept to be the leader of the opposition in Parliament. They
want the MDC Alliance to accept the stolen election outcome. They wanted the
MDC Alliance MPs to recognise Emmerson Mnangagwa as the legitimate president of
Zimbabwe after the stolen and disputed elections of 2018. They want the MDC
Alliance to partner and not to oppose the tyrannical and authoritarian regime
of Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Job Sikhala vs Temba Mliswa
Job Sikhala the MDC-A Vice Chairman held a Press Conference in Harare, May 7, 2020. Below is a full text of Job Sikhala.
Concerned that the
biggest crime that the MDC Alliance and its candidate committed was to garner
over two million votes in the last presidential elections, posing a serious
threat to the system, is the reason for this frantic effort to destroy or
eliminate the MDC Alliance.

| MDC - Job Sikhala |
Therefore, in this
context, the National Standing Committee of the DC Alliance met yesterday in
Harare and made the following resolution:
The Standing
Committee noted the perverse and insidious attempt by Zanu PF and its proxies
to dismember the MDC Alliance by executing a coup against the legitimately
elected leadership of the MDC Alliance under the guise of implementing the
equally insidious judgement of the Supreme Court which seeks to foist Zanu PF
proxies as leaders of the MDC Alliance in brazen violation of the party’s
constitution.
The Standing
Committee thus resolved to reject in total and with utter contempt Zanu PF and
its proxies’ attempt to foist its cousins and partners as leaders of the MDC
Alliance.
All MDC Alliance MPs
will forthwith suspend all participation in Parliament and disengage from all
platforms in which the party has to interact with Zanu PF pending consultations
with the relevant constituencies of the party, that is the electorate and
Zimbabweans at large on the decision for a total withdrawal from Parliament.
The party reiterates
that only the MDC Alliance has the power to lawfully recall or redeploy its
members of parliament elected under its ticket. No-one else has the mandate to
do so, except only the MDC Alliance.
The MDC Alliance in
the meantime is engaging the National Executive Council and the National
Council of the party and all other organs and the people of Zimbabwe in general
on a robust programme of action to resolve the legitimacy national question
which Zimbabwe has been confronted with since Emmerson Mnangagwa installed
himself to be the president of this country.
The MDC Alliance
will roll out a programme of action together with civil society, professional
bodies, churches, labour, business, war veterans, political parties, women and
youth groups.
The MDC Alliance
will not accept the holding of a Zanu PF-organised extraordinary congress in
the MDC. Zanu PF cannot write another political party’s constitution and hold a
congress on its behalf to impose a puppet leadership that would be malleable to
Emmerson Mnangagwa as the principal leader of that political party.
The MDC Alliance has
noted that Morgan Komichi, Douglas Mwonzora and Elias Mudzuri have decided to
cooperate with Zanu PF and the state. They therefore have expelled themselves
from the MDC Alliance and they are forthwith relieved of their positions and
membership in the party. They are further withdrawn from positions in which
they had been deployed within the party. Replacements have been made and will
be announced in due course.
The party resolved
to take all the necessary steps to recover all the gains of the people’s
democratic struggle. The Supreme Court judgement has engendered an illegality
by seeking to extend the expired mandate of the 2014 structures which had since
expired. The term of office of all 2014 structures expired in October 2019. The
toxic judgement illegally seeks to give a Lazarus moment by seeking to
resurrect the expired mandate of the 2014 MDC-T structures.
The National
Standing Committee took note of the Covid-19 pandemic and the dislocated
livelihoods of the vulnerable and the majority of Zimbabweans who are surviving
in the informal sector. The illegitimate regime of Emmerson Mnangagwa has
provided no safety nets whatsoever to assist the despondent Zimbabweans. They
have instead destroyed the vending stalls where the majority of Zimbabweans eke
out a living through informal trading.
Pursuant to our
Agenda 2020 programme of action, we put forward the five fights that we the
people of Zimbabwe must pursue this year without fail as follows:
The fight for the
people’s government, reforms and return to legitimacy.
The fight for a
better life, dignity and livelihoods.
The fight against
corruption.
The fight for
rights, freedoms, security of persons and rule of law.
The fight in defence
of the constitution and constitutionalism.
We now call on the
people of Zimbabwe to build a broad consensus and united front for all
progressive citizens to address the national crisis.
