A People's Democratic Party official based in South Africa Fortune Mlalazi has said MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai can no longer be considered a democrat because of over staying in control of the party and refusing to leave.
"We restate our commitment to a depersonalized and peaceful struggle for democratic change in Zimbabwe and the total victory over Zanu PF and the system it represents.
"The Leader Morgan Tsvangirai can no longer be considered as a democrat or comrade in this struggle. He is clearly unsuitable and has disqualified himself as a fit and proper patriot with the legitimacy, credibility, ability, decency or honesty of leading and executing the democratic struggle in Zimbabwe," he said.
"We the democrats gathered here no longer recognize him or his associates in the Standing Committee any capacity ,therefore exercise our right to freedom of dissociation and will now pursue our struggle with genuine credible fellow Zimbabweans until real victory over Zanu PF and its dictatorship is achieved and attained in this country."
He said as such we believe that the Party must immediately be placed under the control and curatorship of Party elders and veterans in the Guardians Council who must run the party and prepare for Congress where members should be free to elect new leadership.
"We undertake to rebuild our beloved movement and restore the same to its former position as a leading post liberation movement on the African continent," he said.
