Nelson Chamisa's Battle Between Legitimacy and idiocy

Fighting for Legitimacy
Jumping the Queue
Nelson Chamisa is in a very long fight for legitimacy, the battle started when he anointed himself heir to the late Morgan Tsvangirai. He catapulted himself into the MDC-T presidium and caused disillusionment amongst the leadership and MDC-T followers. It is an open secret that Nelson Chamisa is illegitimately holding on to the MDC-T presidency.

Congress or Coup
The disillusioned party members have gone ahead and held a congress and legally took the name MDC-T from Nelson Chamisa and his cabal.
The very move by Ms Khupe to hold a congress leaves Nelson Chamisa in a very awkward position in terms of legitimacy. If Nelson Chamisa is as popular as he thinks, why can he not call for a congress?  Ms Khupe has categorical said that Nelson Chamisa got the presidency through a coup.
Nelson Chamisa presidency is unconstitutional and he knows it.

Constitutionality or Crook
It is, not a secret that Nelson Chamisa is not concerned with what the MDC-T constitution say on how a President of the party is elected, he as an advocate is the best person to interpret and follow it.
Instead, he pretends to be a village idiot. He is playing to the gallery at the expense of party members and other voters in general. Nelson Chamisa got to the MDC-T presidency by hook and crook. This idiocy will be his downfall and will cost the MDC alliance.

Idiocy On Hard Talk
The BBC Hard Talk interview exposed the shortcomings of Nelson Chamisa. He failed to articulate his policies. The presenter wanted Nelson Chamisa to tell the world what he had for Zimbabwe if he was elected as President of Zimbabwe. He had nothing except empty criticism of Emmerson Mnangagwa. He proved himself as the perfect idiot.

Time is running out for Nelson Chamisa and the MDC alliance. It is a fact that the general election will be held before the 31st  of July. The question of Nelson Chamisa's legitimacy has to be resolved, and it needs to be resolved fast. It either the MDC alliance will have to go into the elections with Nelson Chamisa's idiocy or eject him from the alliance for credibility and legitimacy.
