Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC says it remains intact and strong even after its failure to dislodge Zanu-PF during the July 31 harmonised elections.

MDC-T spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora said although his party was disappointed with the outcome of the harmonised elections claiming they were rigged in favour of Zanu-PF, it faced no prospects of mass defections.

He said he was unaware that Tsvangirai's adviser Alex Magaisa was resigning and returning to the United Kingdom to continue his work as lecturer.

Magaisa a lawyer, was head of the political and legal affairs department in the PM's office and with Ian Makone heading the administrative unit.

The MDC spokesperson said the party was still operating in full force and was going to be defending the political space it gained in the elections after its members of Parliament participated in the swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday.

He said the MPs will attend the official opening of the 8th Parliament by President Mugabe.
