The Movement for Democratic Change, which turns 17 tomorrow, says it is poised to win any free and fair elections in Zimbabwe and is on the homestretch for make the next government.
“We are now redefining the endgame to a new, prosperous and democratic nation state in Zimbabwe,” the party said in a statement today. “Indeed, the MDC is poised to resoundingly win any free and fair election to be held in Zimbabwe.”
The party’s 17th anniversary is being celebrated at White City Stadium in Bulawayo.
Party spokesman Obert Gutu said: “More than ever before, the MDC-T is determined to complete the historic struggle of the oppressed and suppressed masses of Zimbabwe.
“The people of Zimbabwe are looking up to us for their deliverance from the demonic jaws of ZANU-PF fascism and tyranny. On our part, we have resolved not to disappoint the millions of Zimbabweans who have reposed so much trust and confidence in the people’s project; the MDC.
“The struggle for emancipation and genuine freedom of the people of Zimbabwe has now entered the homestretch. The MDC is on the verge of making history as the next government of the Republic of Zimbabwe; working closely together with similar–minded, people–centred and patriotic political and civic organisations.”
The MDC-T beat the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front by a single seat in 2008 while its leader Morgan Tsvangirai pipped Mugabe in the presidential vote but failed to secure an outright win forcing the two to enter into an inclusive government that ran the country from 2009 to 2013.
