MDC-T chairman, Lovemore Moyo, says the "poor" crowd which attended the MDC Alliance launch at white city stadium in Bulawayo vindicates Matebeleland senior party leaders' objections to the pact. NewZimbabwe.com reported.
Moyo, MDC-T deputy president, Thokozani Khupe and suspended organising secretary, Abedinico Bhebhe boycotted the Alliance launch after expressing their strong reservations over the coalition agreement, particularly on the distribution of parliamentary seats in Matebeleland.
Moyo maintained that his party does not need any alliance with the Welshman Ncube led MDC and the People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by Tendai Biti.
Moyo argued that the alliance was undeservingly rewarding Ncube and Biti's parties at the expense of loyal MDC-T members whom he said have worked very hard for the growth of the party in the Matebeleland region.
"To our alliance partners, we must not give them what they do not have. People have worked so hard for this party since 1999. When the split occurred in 2005, Matebeleland was hard hit when Welshman Ncube left," said Moyo.
The former Speaker of Parliament said despite their concerns, the three leaders will not quit the MDC-T as it has been largely speculated.
