Movement for Democratic Change leader, Welshman Ncube says his party will not be frog marched into a flawed election.
"No amount of insults and abuse no matter how angrily it is thrown at us will make us yield an inch in our demands for a free and fair election. We will continue to refuse to be bullied into accepting to be frog marched into an election in violation of Zimbabwe's new constitution even when such frog marching is supposedly backed by court orders," he said in a statement.
He ripped into President Mugabe who is pushing hard for the elections.
"Sad delusions by a man whose hands drip of the blood of Zimbabweans murdered by his henchman in an attempt to reverse his defeat at the March 2008 elections. How someone who did what Mugabe did can possibly think he was elected is mind boggling.
"We won the 16 Parliamentary seats and the hundreds of council seats without shedding the blood of a single Zimbabwe nor for that matter injuring or assaulting a single Zimbabwean. Those who murdered and maimed hundreds of our people have no moral authority to lecture us on the essence of democracy. We dismiss the insult with the contempt it deserves."
