A political commentator Vince Musewe has said the opposition political parties have to know that it is not possible for them to win the 2018 elections by going it alone.

"I think it is naive and dangerous for any political party to think that it can win substantive power in 2018 by going it alone. Everything is pointing to another Zanu PF win not because they are competent but that they remain dominant by hook or crook," he said.

"In my opinion this is not the time for multiple coalitions pushing own agendas but an acceptance that 2018 must be a window to the future which requires some of our politicians to swallow their pride and accept the fact that our electorate is still to be educated on what and who they should vote for. That can only be achieved after we dismiss Zanu PF first from power in 2018. So let us admit that 2018 elections must bring in a transition both political and economic and it's only in 2023 that we can begin to look at competencies quality and ethics of those who seek power."

He said if they agree on that they therefore must accept to swallow our personal pride and delay their political ambitions for the sake of country and put in front those most likely to ensure that they dismiss Mugabe and his coterie of thieves from power.

"Let us therefore stop being obsessed with who will lead the coalition but what the coalition will achieve," he said.
