By Paul Nyathi|Prominent radio and television personality and losing MDC-T candidate for Vungu constituency in the Midlands, Ezra Tshisa Sibanda has challenged the MDC-T to unite with ousted former Deputy President Thokozani Khuphe.

In his call, Sibanda argues that there is more logic in the MDC-T uniting with Khuphe than being in the MDC Alliance coalition with parties that don’t bring value to the party.

In a post published on his Facebook page on Tuesday, Sibanda argues that Khuphe has more followers than all the six other partners to the MDC Alliance put together.

The submission to Chamisa by Sibanda reads as follows:

“Advocate Nelson Chamisa has been packing rallies, very clear in those rallies the colour is red and only in few areas of Matabeleland and Midlands where you see red and a few green colours. We are yet to see Tendai Biti and other 6 leaders supporters in those alliance rallies. Who are those gentlemen representing and where are their structures? Khupe has more supporters than those parties in the alliance put together therefore MDC T should simple unite and go for it alone.

I believe these other leaders in the MDC alliance are figure heads with no support riding on the popularity of MDC T. Can each of the other 6 parties hold their own rallies for their supporters so that we can judge their popularity? They won’t do because they have no people. I can safely conclude there is actually no alliance but individuals trying to resuscitate their fading political careers as they were now irrelevant as far as Zim politics is concerned. They were in the cold, they just want to become members of parliament once again and the only way they can do it is to use MDC T ticket in the name of MDC T Alliance.

I remember vividly what Biti said about Tsvangirai and remember well what Welshman also said. Both men said they will never work with Morgan Tsvangirai and his MDC. They called him all sorts of names. The 2 gentlemen should simple rejoin MDC T because that’s where they came from.

In any political alliance you have to bring something to the table, show us your people, what are the other parties bringing into the table? Chamisa should simple unite MDC T and let the party go it alone against Zanu PF or make coalition with other opposition parties with followers. It’s still possible Khupe and Chamisa can unite and take the movement forward.
