As power struggles continue to haunt the MDC-T the party’s National Youth Assembly on Tuesday warned national spokesperson Obert Gutu to “reform” or risk facing “disciplinary action” from the National Council.<\/p>\n

Due to MDC-T president Morgan Tsvangirai’s absence as he receives treatment for colon cancer in South Africa, the party has been subjected to serious squabbles as top leadership fight to replace their un-well boss.<\/p>\n
During a press conference held at Harvest House on Tuesday, youth national chairman, Happymore “Bvondo” Chidziva, warned Gutu to desist from supporting another party other than MDC-T thereby contradicting party position.<\/p>\n
He said Gutu should stop issuing statements which are contrary to the party position and bringing the MDC-T into disrepute, indiscipline, failing to articulate and respect the Presidential spokesperson by undermining his role.<\/p>\n
“We have strongly resolved to warn Obert Gutu to reform or else to face the National Council decision. To be fore warned is fore armed,” Chidziva said.<\/p>\n
Recently, Gutu dismissed Vice President Nelson Chamisa’s appointment as the MDC-T acting president taking over from Co-VP Elias Mudzuri who insisted that Tsvangirai had appointed him to the position.<\/p>\n
The MDC-T leadership has now begun a series of meetings to bring together the rival party members together under one interim Acting president to be endorsed by the National Council on Thursday.<\/p>\n
According to Tamborinyoka, in a statement on Tuesday, Thursday’s Extra-ordinary Council meeting will endorse Acting President as Interim president and presidential election candidate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
