1] kudos Advocate Hofisi for the analysis.
Let me admit that I'm a fan & have read all of the posts on your blog.
I nevertheless want to invite you to this thread where I seek clarification on certain issues which I found unclear.
I'm no lawyer.
I'm certain you will help... https://twitter.com/DavidHofisi/status/1247024553865482241

2] Is the MDC ALLIANCE a party?
Now,if the agreement was that it 'might' turn into one, what's the justication for arguing it didn't?
More so in light of @jngarivhume & others deciding not to join?
Shouldn't the question be on WHEN it became a party & not if it became one?

2ii] I am of the opinion that the ALLIANCE turned into a party pre-elections, a elitist process which was legitimized by the masses at the #GweruCongress
What could be unique about it is that only former MDC parties finished the reintegration process, and not start it in Gweru?

3] How did the MDC ALLIANCE hold an inaugural congress at its 5th Anniversary?
The answer lies in the confusion of ZanuPF's own date of birth.
Also, how did the MDC-T itself,which only came into existence after the Ncube (2005) split still turn 20?
How old is the MDC-T?

4] The MDC should hold its Extraordinary Congress.
If for one reason or the other, the Ordinary Congress becomes due,as is the case now,before the EC, which one is held?
Since the EC "only elects" a Acting Pres to finish a term,how do you hold it if the term itself is finished?

4ii] Since all National Council members have their terms of offices linked to that of the Pres,who is to be replaced by the Act Pres elected at the EC, what becomes of their own terms of office when it has lapsed together with that of the Pres, before the EC?

5] Processes for calling a EC.
You suggested that a quorum isn't important for #DrKhupe because she has a court verdict.
Is that legally adequate?
Is the Congress a simple operation of law,or is equally linked to structures within the party?
Can those party structures stop it?

6] Which party went for the #GweruCongress?
You seem to suggest its not the MDC ALLIANCE because it "doesn't exist" as a party?
Does that then imply its the MDC-T?
if yes, then what was legal or illegal about it to warrant a new Congress as per the court verdict?

Assuming that the legal process for a Congress require the #KomichiDeclaration done after the SC ruling, which Sen DM is apparently initiating, what has changed to the way the #GweruCongress was called and run?
Were the same two figures not central in the #GweruCongress?

I've asked Sen DM without any response,as to what he and Sen MK intend to do this time around,which they didn't do when the #GweruCongress was done?
It would seem like the National Council,charged by Sen MK began the process & Sen DM as SG pronounced it.
What changed?

7] You posit that the Leader of the MDC-T can recall MDC-T representatives.
How does the process commence outside further court disputes since ZEC only recognizes the MDC ALLAINCE SG, who is @hwende & parly recognizes #MadamKhumalo & the ALLIANCE Chief Whip?
Who then does it?
