Tsvangirai courts Ncube, MDC says NO

5 political parties opposed to Zanu-PF have intensified their behind-the-scenes talks for forming an alliance to rally behind a single presidential candidate in the July 31 polls. However, the Mdc Spokesperson has poured cold water on the coalition talk saying his MDC will not be involved.

Some media reports says, the MDC formations are on Friday expected to confirm the formation of a grand coalition to challenge President Robert Mugabe and his Zanu PF party in the next elections.

MDC-T, MDC, Zapu, Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn (MKD) and Zanu Ndonga have since last month held 5 meetings lasting over 6 hours each.

The parties were last night scheduled to hold a make-or-break meeting in Harare to deliberate on agreed positions.

MDC secretary-general Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga and MKD President Simba Makoni confirmed the development.

However, the Mdc Spokesperson posted on fis facebook profile: "I always say that tomorrow always comes. Let me hazard that whatever it is that will be announced in Harare tomorrow if indeed there will be an announcement, might be a coalition but certainly not grand. Certainly not grand because our party wont be there."

"People always suspect that all my posts are loaded with spin. Let me assure you that this Spokesperson just communicates. No spin. The coming days will prove just how true this is..." he added.
