MDC-T spokesperson, Douglas Mwonzora, said yesterday's meeting went well with district chairpersons rejecting calls for Tsvangirai to quit the party to pave way for the election of a new leadership.
He said the districts allegedly endorsed Tsvangirai as the MDC-T leader and party candidate for 2018.
Mwonzora said the meeting took note of the fact that Zanu-PF and state security agents were taking advantage of the internal democracy in the MDC-T to sow seeds of division within the opposition party.
"To that end, the leadership of the MDC shall as has always been the case, be determined by congress, whether this congress is held in 2016 or earlier if the national council so desires," he said.
Mwonzora claimed that Zanu-PF had infiltrated MDC-T structures and was the one engineering calls for Tsvangirai's ouster and leadership renewal in the party.
He claimed there were already two line ups of MDC-T officials which were being pushed by Zanu-PF for the next opposition party congress.
Zanu-PF spokesperson, Rugare Gumbo said his party had its own challenges and had no time and interest to meddle in MDC-T affairs.
"Can they prove it?" he asked. 
"If they are failing to find a good leader with capacity, they must not blame others."
