By Own Correspondent- Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has said that in the event that the MDC manages to get into government, his government will not have three vice presidents.

The structure of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) currently accommodates three vice presidents.

Speaking at a memorial service for the party’s founding president Morgan Tsvangirai in Buhera on Saturday, Chamisa said:

“Some ask where the vice presidents issue came from. One of the ideas Tsvangirai brought up was the three vice presidents. In the ZCTU, from whose womb the party was formed, there are four presidents; we ended at three.

Some ask what does this mean? In government we won’t have that, the government is supposed to be lean and mean. We’ll separate the government from the party.

The agenda started by Morgan Tsvangirai is not going to be betrayed. We remain going back to the centre, which is the ZCTU. The party was born out of the determination of the workers.”
