MDC-Ncube decides to vote against the Zanu-PF speakership candidate

Welshman Ncube is flip flopping on the speaker of parliament vote after he had stated that his MDC will leave Zanu-PF and MDC-T to decide on the speakership position, he now says that they have reconsidered their position and they will now vote against a Zanu-PF candidate.

Ncube issued a statement on his facebook profile which reads.

I had stated yesterday that we as the MDC will only reconsider our position if ZANU PF subverts the electoral process to secure victory by underhand means or through misuse and abuse of the law through such things as arrests made primarily for the purpose of influencing the outcome of the vote. In that event, they would have lost their moral equivalence with the MDCT. It is now clear that ZANU PF have decided to do exactly that. On that basis, the MDC Standing Committee have decided to vote against the ZANU PF candidate and vote for the MDCT candidate for the position of Speaker of the House of Assembly. This is not an endorsement of the MDCT candidate but in the interests of serving the people of Zimbabwe we no longer see moral equivalence between ZANU PF and MDC"
