The MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa has changed its name to Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) ahead of the 26 March by-elections.
Chamisa made the announcement during a press conference at Bronte Hotel in Harare on Monday afternoon.
The party’s National Council met on Saturday and made the resolution to abandon the MDC Alliance name after MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora appropriated the MDC brand and all its variants.
Chamisa said the party was dumping the MDC identity altogether, including the symbols.
He said the party would vigilantly defend the people’s vote in 2023.
“We won’t allow ZEC to play and join the other team,” he said.
Took a swipe at President Emmerson Mnangagwa saying: “Mnangagwa did not won the election in 2018 and he knows it, that’s why he had to be saved by the courts.”
“But he has suffered from lack of legitimacy and that’s why he cannot solve problems facing the country. We have given him the chance and he has squandered every chance,” he said.
