MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai electrified the crowd at the National People's Party's inaugural convention held in Harare yesterday where he belabored his commitment towards working with former vice president Joice Mujuru.
He received a standing ovation at the function where he had been invited to give a solidarity message.
In his solidarity message, Tsvangirai, said he agreed with Mujuru's message and that the door was still open for coalition negotiations.
"I was listening to the proposals that you were making, Cde president, and I see no conflict with our ideals and values as MDC-T and so where is the problem? We cannot be divided on the basis of personality and if we agree that this is the direction we are going to face as a country, why don't we put these efforts together?"
"Last week, we launched the MDC Alliance as a coalition of agreed parties. We said at the time we believe in the big tent, we believe in the unity of Zimbabwe and that 2018 is the only opportunity for the democratic opposition in this country to win power. NPP is not our enemy, Zanu PF is our enemy," he said.
