Morgan Tsvangirai Monday said President Robert Mugabe had agreed to have a police "ban" on MDC-T rallies lifted.
Observers said it was not clear whether the ban was a calculated move by the police to maintain law and order in the wake of political violence or acts by overzealous and partisan officers.
Monday Tsvangirai reportedly met Mugabe to discuss the ban on public gatherings, especially those of the MDC-T and other organisations perceived to be anti-Zanu PF.
"The Prime Minister and the President met today and agreed that all meetings should be allowed to proceed," said Luke Tamborinyoka, the Prime Minister's spokesperson.
George Charamba, President Mugabe's spokesperson, yesterday said he was not yet aware of any such meeting between the President and the Prime Minister.
