1] Speaking politically (as I am no lawyer), the biggest miscalculation by the @DMwonzora's faction was buying time,allowing #Chamisa to contest the national elections, banking on some poll embarrassments (including untold shenanigans by the same)

This went horribly wrong.
2] Post elections,there seem to have been a hope that the ED loss would finish #Chamisa, hence the "I can easily get 4 million votes" jibe by Sen Douglas Mwonzora

you will recognize he was conflicted when it came to the Con Court challenge.

Its success couldn't help his cause.
3] Interestingly, though staying clear off the #ConCourt challenge (& statements that we had no evidence), Sen DM was more than happy, as SG, to be concentrating on results appeal for certain MPs.

Its like Sen DM was only bothered bh rigging against MPs, & not his NC

It can't!
4] So Sen DM pushed on.

He decided to go for the #Congress.
Its not clear in which capacity or for which party.

Bottomline is, HE WAS READY TO LEAD.

In the end,that too didn't go well.

Was probably played by that #ManicalandDeclaration.

But that's not the interesting part...
5] At the Congress, the obvious thing is that he lost to @hwendec

The important thing is the consequence of that.
Suddenly, Sen DM found himself outside the MDC SC.

It more importantly pushed him way down the succession line.

He was willing to fight another day,but got a TKO!
6] By the way, Sen DM found himself outside the MDC SC which I'm defining as the Succession Council.

Suddenly there is the sworn enemy @hwendec ahead of you.

and then @BitiTendai , @Welshman_Ncube & @KarenyiKore

What was left for him besides the scorched earth policy?
7] Sen DM doesn't care about constitutionalism.
He doesn't care about #DrKhupe.

He is following his own ambitions.
I remember a BSR by @Wamagaisa which exposed #DrMRT's leadership style..

He allegedly didn't micromanage his lieutenants.
There is something key to read from this.
8] But anyway,the miscalculation was letting this go.

Sen DM felt he would eventually play catch up.

Post elections,the MDC finds itself with a leader who is dangerously popular.The realization is,he might now be more popular than the party.

What then do you do,outside the SC?
9] #Chamisa is not stupid.

He has seen this coming.
I'm sure he has a plan.

Sen DM fell for it.
History will remember that Chamisa lost from Sen DM & there was no split.
Sen DM lost from him,and here we are.
The same for Sen MK & EM.

But where to from now for Sen DM?

enkosi!!
