By Own Correspondent| MDC Alliance leader, Nelson Chamisa today thanked the SADC for its stance of not congratulating Zanu Pf leader Emmerson Mnangagwa following the just ended harmonised polls appealing to the regional block to help his new and incoming government negotiate a respectable exit package for Mnangagwa and those defeated in the polls.

Chamisa said this at a press conference at Morgan Tsvangirai House in Harare Monday morning.

Said Chamisa:

“Yes I have already said to our colleagues in SADC, I want to really appreciate the position that they took that they did not congratulate Zanu Pf, they did not congratulate Mr Mnangagwa because they know that he is not the winner and I am very happy and fortified by that position.

Yes some of you have said Oh, Mr Mnangagwa was given the position of deputy chairperson of SADC organ on politics and security, that position is given to a country, it is not a Mnangagwa position.

I will take up that position as Head of State once the processes have been confirmed. It is not Mr Mnangagwa’s position. It is a country position and that should be known.

We should not have people who celebrate nothing and make it something. He has not been appointed…….SADC did not congratulate Mnangagwa because they know that the jury is yet to decide.The people voted and they cheated.

To SADC, I say please help us help the African continent and helping ourselves by making sure that you help us heal the divisions that are in the country.

The country needs to start on a permanent path to cure the illegitimacy, to cure the crisis that we have, the electoral stalemate.

That can only be done if SADC were to come in and help us negotiate a respectable exit for Mr Mnangagwa, a respectable exit for those who have been voted out.”
