  • Police on Friday arrested two vice presidents of Zimbabwe's main opposition, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), outside the party headquarters, AFP correspondents said. Tendai Biti, a former minister, was arrested with a second vice president, Lynette Kore, along with four other party officials as they sought access to the MDC's headquarters, which was occupied this week by a members of a splinter faction following a protracted legal tussle. The leaders had been trying to hold a news conference at the party offices in downtown Harare. Addressing journalists before being led into a police truck, Biti said his faction was the rightful owner of the building. "We have occupied this building since time immemorial," said Biti, who was Zimbabwe's finance minister from 2009 to 2013 during a period of power-sharing. "We acquired this building in 2002. Everyone knows that, so you cannot deny our workers the right to use this building," he said. The party has been locked in a bitter succession battle since its founder, Morgan Tsvangirai, died in 2018 from colon cancer. Last month the country's constitutional court ruled in favour of a faction led by former vice president Thokozani Khupe. It ordered that the party hold a congress to elect a new leadership within three months. fj/sn/ri
