Source: Tsvangirai must lead coalition: Top PDP official – DailyNews Live
Farayi Machamire 29 June 2017
HARARE – A top official in opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has
said Morgan Tsvangirai must represent the opposition alliance in the
presidential election mid-next year, his fourth time as a presidential
candidate.
“I have always said we will never have a perfect leader…. Let Tsvangirai
lead us in the coalition. Let us have in addition a very strong
non-partisan presidential team to prop him up and fill the gaps,” PDP
secretary for economic affairs Vince Musewe said on his Facebook wall. PDP
spokesperson Jacob Mafume said they were yet to endorse an alliance
presidential candidate.
“We appreciate and acknowledge comments made by Vince, we don’t find fault
in them, and it’s his opinion. But as a party we say first things first
and then we talk of a coalition. If we do the opposite, then we run the
risk of having a leader without the coalition.”
