'No interest in Biti project,' Madhuku party

Lovemore Madhuku's opposition National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) will not be part of the envisioned grand coalition proposed by MDC-T faction leader Tendai Biti.

NCA spokesperson Madock Chivasa said his party had its own aspirations and would not subordinate them to other people's ambitious ideas.

He said it would be an insult to the fledgling party if anyone attempted to co-opt into his own project.

Biti has not hidden his ambitions to form the envisioned United Democratic Party he hopes would finally break Zanu-PF's lengthy stranglehold on power.

The MDC-T secretary general also wants civil society to rally support behind his ambitious project which he intends to give a totally different identity from the MDC-T.
