"We know that the people have their expectations but the major objective of the process is to strengthen the party ahead of the approaching polls. We have to sit down and map the way forward as a team.

"I am happy with the process because we managed to display maturity and sanity despite the tension and excitement that gripped the party in the past few weeks. The MDC-T is a Party of Excellence and we are now looking ahead to the nomination process," said Sitemere.
