Khupe along with other candidates Elias Mudzuri and Morgen Komichi walked out of the congress in protest at alleged vote rigging. This after Mwonzora allegedly presented a dodgy voters roll.

“I have suspended Mwonzora from post of SG with immediate effect and suspended the EOC,” Khupe told journalists at a hastily convened press conference after the fracas.

Khupe confirmed that several delegates were beaten and “one person rushed to hospital as we speak. I will be reporting to the police, over the $6 million stolen from our account,” Khupe claimed.

Komichi weighed in saying “people who voted today are not our delegates. Some who voted were 10 years in 2014.”

There was also a bizarre moment when journalists who wanted to follow Khupe to her press conference were barred from leaving the venue of the congress by Mwonzora loyalists.

More details as come……

Opposition leader and constitutional lawyer Douglas Mwonzora has asserted that Zimbabwe's Constitution is designed to make it extremely difficult for anyone to amend and extend the presidential term limit. "So, if people want the incumbent to benefit, in this particular case, President Mnangagwa, then there must be another referendum in which the referendum question is simply that should President Mnangagwa have a third term or not. It will be a person specific. "Now, these referendums must not be within six months of each other. They must be more than six months of each other. So, it is almost an impossibility," Mwonzora stated.
