The Movement for Democratic Change-Tsvangirai Standing Committee today welcomed two new vice-presidents, Nelson Chamisa and Elias Mudzuri who were appointed last week.
Party president Morgan Tsvangirai chaired the meeting of the Standing Committee which is a sub-committee of the national executive.
The attendance of Chamisa and Mudzuri quashes rumours circulating in the online media that Tsvangirai has changed his mind about the appointments which have been welcomed by the party’s youth wing but have been a subject of debate some who claim that Tsvangirai breached the party constitution by appointing the two.
The party has three vice-presidents including Thozokani Khupe.
