Opposition pushes for one candidate

People's Democratic Party secretary general Gorden Moyo says opposition parties' mooted grand coalition stands a chance of annihilating President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF in the 2018 election if it fields one candidate.

Opposition political parties are working on creating an electoral pact that will ultimately lead to the formation of grand coalition, the first of its kind since independence.

Zimbabwe's opposition figures have in recent months shown signs of working together to end Mugabe's 36-year unflappable rule which angry Zimbabweans blame for current hardships.
