MDCT Tsvangirai and MDC Ncube admit splitting the original MDC contributed to Mugabe’s repeated electoral victory

MDC T leader Richard Morgan Tsvangirai has had a busy week starting on Monday when he signed a Memorandum of understanding with the former leader of Zimbabwe People’s Front now the leader of National People’s Front (NPF).

He went on to sign another Memorandum of understanding with another opposition yesterday crafting a new Political Agreement with the MDC leader Professor Welshman Ncube, ending a difficult twelve year period between the two leadersTsvangirai and Ncube and their parties, MDC T and MDC ahead of the much acclaimed 2018 ballot against the then 94 year old Nonegenarian Zimbabwe dictator Robert Gabriel Mugabe.

Tsvangirai added that it is not practical for anyone to expect opposition forces to contest the 2018 ballot split apart, while Welshman Ncube also admitted blame for problems that the original MDC split created.

He admitted that this was clearly not in the national interest and split the electorate and said he concurred with Tsvangirai on everything that followed the MDC split and it was more important not just to accept responsibility over the split but also for opposition to take the necessary steps in ‘creating a formidable force’.
