The Sunday meeting was held after a public lecture organised by a civic society group in Bulawayo where Khupe‚ alongside her allies‚ Obert Gutu‚ Abednico Bhebhe and Lovemore Moyo‚ condemned how Chamisa came to power without following the constitutional process.
Meanwhile‚ Chamisa last week at a rally said those against his rise to power would be fired from the party.
So far‚ the party's spokesman‚ Obert Gutu‚ is on suspension and Khupe‚ along with those aligned to her‚ are on the fourth day of a week's deadline to tow the line or else face expulsion.
However‚ the party's secretary general‚ Douglas Mwonzora‚ remains defiant.
"I am not going anywhere. I will face the problems in my party head on. I am still the secretary general and I am going to be part of the solution to the problems in the party‚" he said.
When Tsvangirai passed away his three vice presidents - Khupe‚ elected by congress‚ Elias Mudzuri and Nelson Chamisa‚ whom he handpicked‚ were locked in a fierce succession wrangle. Mudzuri would later succumb to pressure and side with Chamisa while Khupe still insists she is the rightful leader constitutionally.
