Jane Mlambo| Underfire MDC Secretary General Douglas Mwonzora’s nightmare at the Mutare Thank You Rally over the weekend has reportedly forced him to reconsider his challenge for the party’s Presidential post amid indications that he is likely to throw his ring in the vice Presidency race.

Mwonzora endured an afternoon to forget when he was booed by party supporters only to be saved by Nelson Chamisa who threatened to leave if his powerful Secretary General is not allowed to address the rally.

Top MDC sources told a local online news organisation that Mwonzora was already open to abandoning his challenge for Chamisa.

“He has every chance to win and knows that. There have been a lot of mudslinging and back-biting which could divide the party right through the middle. Mwonzora will likely contest for the vice presidency,” a source close to Mwonzora said.
