Political commentator Dr Pedzisai Ruhanya has said MDC Alliance seem to be having serious internal problems which might have led to its loss of elections in Masvingo.
"Now, listen MDC Alliance leaders, supporters and sympathisers. I will not agree with you that the dismal performance of the party in Masvingo province where it got 1 seat out 26 was due to external forces/rigging. MDC has serious problems internally that require organic restructuring because even if the elections were to be re-done in Masvingo, ZANU PF can actually take everything," he said.
"I am from Zaka district and I went home before the election; there were some areas the MDC did not have presence not to mention even a single rally and people will say where is the MP who is running here, can you tell the party when you go back to Harare that there is nothing here."
"Then you expected victory. Do internal audits, self introspection, reorganise and leaders must stay in their communities rather than be visitors; remove the unhelpful deadwood."
