Tsvangirai denies messy private life caused election rout

MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has refused to take any personal responsibility for his party's waning fortunes, saying his turbulent private life had nothing to do with the poor performance in the 2013 general election.

Tsvangirai told VOA Studio 7 that claims that his personal life affected the outcome of the polls were allegations made by his enemies designed to discredit him.

He asked: "Don't you quarrel with your wife? And if I have a problem in my own house what has that got to do with the people?

"Surely can we say people"s lives can be determined by how Tsvangirai is conducting his personal affairs? No. These issues are private."
