I Albert Matapo the President of UCAD the Green Party of Zimbabwe on behalf of the UCAD family would like to inform the nation and the whole world that we as UCAD have resolved to put all our weight and to support MORGAN RICHARD TSVANGIRAI the President of MDC T as one and only Presidential candidate for the 2018 elections.
We therefore urge all our members and supporters and all normal Zimbabweans to vote none other than this man. We absolutely do not see any need for formal coalition(s) because we are all genuinely fighting for change and not positions or means of amassing wealth, and that can only come through unity of purpose.
We remain different parties but with one common agenda of defeating and burrying the Zanu PF thieves once and for all come 2018 for the benefit of all of us.
We wish to take this opportunity to announce that we are the first and hope not the only ones to openly challenge other parties, groupings and individuals to do the same. We do not have to be in any coalition to do that.
We therefore declare you Morgan Richard Tsvangirai to lead us all as our only candidate against whoever will be fielded by the Zanu thieves. Our hopes are that no one from those who call themselves "opposition" will agree to be used by Zanu PF to also stand in as the third or so candidate.
We now would like to ask you to come up with a proposed government in waiting and use all democratic means to ensure that we do have only one genuine candidate per each of the Council wards, each of the 210 Constituencies and each of the senatorial areas.
We promise to support and vote those candidates come next elections even if we are not formally part of MDC T family that is irrelevant. We view this as the best way forward.
Our UCAD family have resolved to take this position simply because you continue to be the only popular man, one with the majority of support from the people of our country and that you have been winning ever since 2002 but Mugabe and Junta have been denying us the freedom under your leadership.
In other words you have been the country's legitimate President ever since 2002. With this UCAD's first ever declaration, we kindly ask you to walk tall remembering that we are behind you.
However UCAD will continue to put in place other alternative peaceful means of dealing with the evil regime should there be need; now, before or after elections, and we do hope that the whole MDC T family will not hesitate to support us should that moment comes.
We know that the regime has been and will always be dirty and so we stand ready to stop that. We will never allow Zimbabwe to be inherited by the Mugabes or any of the Junta as is being advocated by both Grace and some sections of Zanu.
Zimbabwe is not at all part of Mugabe's belongings and does not belong to Zanu or to war veterans but to Zimbabweans in our sum total regardless of race, tribe, religion, ethnic origin, etc. No one from the Zanu thieves should be allowed to extend the Zanu regime because the majority of them belong to Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison and not to State House as they think.
