Nykadzino fires Khupe, appoints self as MDC-T Acting President
Nyikadzino appointed himself the Acting President of the MDC-T after he fired party President Thokozani Khupe from the party. He mentioned that Khupe had fired herself from the party by accepting to become MDC-T acting president as instructed by the controversial court ruling.
“In the absence of another top leader in the party, it means i will act as the president of the party as im the most senior member,” Nyikadzino said.
