MDC Alliance councillors have written to Local Government Minister July Moyo urging him to stop their newest political rival Douglas Mwonzora and his allies from recalling them from their positions.

In the letter, MDC Alliance and members of the Urban and Rural Districts Elected or appointed on the MDC-A ticket in the 2018 general elections said MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe, Morgen Komichi and Mwonzora must stop their recall threats.

"MDC Alliance fielded candidates during the 30 July 2018 elections on its own, there was no MDC-T or MDC or any other political or entity that was in the MDC Alliance or associated with it that fielded any candidates for the purpose of the 30 July 2018 elections.

"None of the members who Douglas Togaraseyi Mwonzora or the MDC-T have threatened to recall or may purport to recall have ceased to belong to their party MDC Alliance."

The letter added, "Douglas Togaraseyi Mwonzora is not the secretary general of the MDC Alliance, our clients also dispute that he is the secretary general of the MDC or MDC-T, he has no authority of anyone to recall Councillors elected under the banner of the MDC Alliance."
