However, deposed President Aspher Madziyire is not taking this lying down and has vowed to approach the High Court to have the elections nullified. Madziyire is arguing that the meeting was illegal. Madziyire has also set dates for the presidential election which means that at the moment there are two AFMs, one following Rev. Chiangwa and another following Madziyire. Speaking to H-Metro, Madawo said,

The national elections shall be held on November 3, 2018. We would also want to make an announcement to all our AFM members that they should be careful and desist from relying on messages that are going viral on social media about our church. We don’t run the church or make decisions and resolutions on social media.
