Questions arise as to whether MDCs will boycott 2018 elections

Following the by election boycott by the MDC formations demanding electoral reforms before polls political commentators have questioned if the political parties will continue to boycott the 2018 elections if the reforms they demand are still not made or not.  ·

Methuseli Moyo said does it mean the MDCs, in their multiple formations, will boycott the 2018 elections, because as we all know, Zanu-PF will never comply with their verbal demands for reforms before polls?

"That being the case, it means Zanu-PF is assured of yet another "landslide victory" come 2018, unless if of course a more serious and self-believing party is formed before then," said Moyo. "The MDC has since its formation in 1999 pioneered and sustained a culture of political foolishness epitomised by senseless boycotts, empty threats, cowardice, and senseless splits."

He said the MDCs must die together with their brother Zanu-PF (President First) in 2018.

"Imagine if PF- Zapu and Zanu had in 1980 boycotted elections unless Ian Smith "reformed" certain laws? What kind of a fool does not know that you get into power first and then reform things?" asked Moyo.

"Does Tsvangirai and his supporters really imagine that Zanu-PF under Mugabe or even Mnangagwa will ever be fair to their opponents? Zimbabwe needs a robust and self-believing party to win and wrestle power from Zanu in 2018. Anything else is a waste of time."
