A political commentator Pedzisai Ruhanya has said MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai is 100% right on the need for a political coalition.

"I am not given to praise singing political leaders. I come from a rebellious school. This is my take on MDC-T disagreements over the coalition: Tsvangirai is 100% right on the need for a political coalition," he said.

"That is is the expectation of the public who hope to change their lived circumstances. From what I read in NewsDay about MDC-T VP Thokozani Khupe, she is right on subjecting coalition agreements to due and internal processes of the party but misses the point by a very wide margin on CONTENT. For starters, its wrong and empirically misleading to suggest that MDC-T is strong in Mat South given the outcome of 2013 elections where ZANU PF won the majority of seats."

He said the figures clearly indicate that if MDC led by Prof Welshman Ncube and MDC-T were united in 2013, they could have won 13 seats majority in Mat South and some in Mat North.

"To mitigate the fall out, dues processes and content issues in coalition talks require strict adherence," he said.
