As a party, we have resolved that these alliance negotiations will be bilateral and not multilateral engagements. The national council, the party’s supreme decision-making body in between Congresses adopted principles and consequently drew up a framework to guide this delicate process and vested all powers and communication on the matter in President Tsvangirai. The party President further received direction from ordinary Zimbabweans and opinion leaders during his highly enriching one-and-half months tour of the country.
Once the on-going engagement with current and potential partners reaches substantive levels, President Tsvangirai will keep updating both the executive organs of the party and the people of Zimbabwe.
We reiterate that though it could be the political leaders that are in discussion, the next election is not about them. The next election is about the people of Zimbabwe and the perfect opportunity that elections allow them every five years to choose their preferred men and women who can lay the ground for an inclusive society that prides itself in leaving no-one behind.
That is why even as these alliance discussions continue; President Tsvangirai is urging Zimbabweans to take the next election seriously and to turn out in their large numbers to register to vote once the Zimbabwe electoral Commission rolls out the process.
Together, we are stronger.
