Party supporters accused the MDC-T senior leadership of seeking to elevate "rebel" candidates into senior posts.

Mr Tshabangu, however, said the party would be lenient on candidates who joined the party earlier on but said such candidates were still subject to scrutiny by party members in their constituencies.
