A statement by MDC T on the upcoming by elections suggest that the Alliance led by Chamisa cannot use the name MDC as it is an extention of their party.
Journalist Hopewell had this to say:
On Saturday I told you that this had already been done.
I repeat again, using MDCA will lead to all Chamisa’s candidates being made Independents.
Politics is not about sentiment but what is possible.
ZANUPF controls @ZECzim and the judiciary, Mnangagwa said they are everything
Many have been advising Chamisa to let go of the name and start a new name
