PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe had agreed that he had lost the 2008 elections and engaged in transitional negotiations to hand over power.
According to Luke Tamborinyoka, former State minister, Nicholas Goche spoke to MDC T's Elton Mangoma about the hand over of power arrangements.
Tamborinyoka is the Director of Communications and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's spokesperson.
He recently wrote :
'For all the brouhaha in the public media, it appears they have missed some of the juicy stuff in the book that Zimbabweans would be interested to know about.
'In his legendary silence when the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission failed to announce Presidential election results results, the Prime Minister says in his book that Former State Security minister, Nicholas Goche, called Hon Elton Mangoma to tell him that he (Goche) needed to talk about transitional mechanisms now that the MDC had won the election.
"According to Goche, Mugabe had agreed to step down and to ensure transfer of power, there was need for us to take some of their Zanu PF winners into the coalition administration," the Prime Minister says.
He was writing in response to an article written by Tsholotsho North legislator, Professor Jonathan Moyo.
PM Tsvangirai wrote a book tittle : At the Deep End.'
