MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has set the stage for fresh clashes with Tendai Biti after he boldly elevated Welshman Ncube to the lofty position of party Vice President while downgrading the former Finance Minister to the lowly position of being party deputy national chair.
The new party leadership configurations, announced at a press briefing by Chamisa spokesperson, Nkululeko Sibanda, saw Morgen Komichi elevated to co-VP.
They are part of a process by the main opposition to merge its breakaway factions led by Ncube and Biti.
But in signs he was not too keen on Biti occupying a more influential party position, Chamisa deployed his MDC Alliance co-principal below Thabitha Khumalo, who now becomes substantive national chair.

“Appointments by who? I am not aware of those. So, please talk to people who know,” Biti said.
Asked if he would be satisfied with his new position if eventually informed, Biti was adamant he was not the best to respond to the question.
“Why are you now talking to me? I am just telling you that I don’t know yet.”
