Following a united MDC-T split 2018, then party co-vice president Thokozani Khupe formed her party and kept the name MDC-T while MDC Alliance rival Nelson Chamisa incorporated erstwhile allies in MDC splinter groups led by former secretary generals Welshman Ncube and Tendai Biti to form MDC Alliance.
A court ruling has restored the original MDC-T into the hands of Khupe and further ordered an extra-ordinary elective party congress within two months of the ruling.
"Losing an illegally acquired position could not be easy for anyone, therefore the 'fixation' is understood," said Phungeni in reference to the Supreme Court ruling which stripped Mudzuri the party's vice presidency.
Mudzuri was in 2016 appointed co-vice president of the then Morgan Tsvangirai led MDC-T, a position that was reversed in retrospect by the Supreme Court 2019.
Khupe's spokesperson said everyone in the party except the former Harare Mayor has accepted the Supreme Court's ruling.
