Current trends show that the MDC led by Professor Welshman Ncube, which has formed an alliance with Dumiso Dabengwa's Zapu, might win significant seats in Matabeleland and Midlands, coming in-between the main parties as the power broker.
MDC is mainly campaigning on devolution of power which it hawks as a potential panacea to problems of over-centralisation and inclusion of the marginalised masses in mainstream economic programmes and development.
Ncube's MDC emphasises in its election manifesto, which will be launched on July 20 in Binga, revitalisation of industry to create jobs as companies have collapsed after decades of economic mismanagement although its campaign is based on devolution of power.
The party has already launched its economic policy Access, Control, Transformation, Initiative, Organisation, New Technologies, Sustainability (Actions), focusing on harnessing the country's vast natural and human resources for reconstruction.
It believes access to resources, power and justice; control of destiny and welfare; transformation of communities and strengthening livelihoods of Zimbabweans; initiatives for wealth, job creation and organisation of all public institutions to effectively deliver services, among other things, are the answer to the country's economic ills.
After relatively succeeding in campaigning for devolution in the new constitution, the MDC has decided to push its campaign on that issue now resonating, mainly in Manicaland, Matabeleland, Midlands and Mashonaland.
