By A Correspondent- MDC top official Douglas Mwonzora has finally spoken out following massive social media speculation that he is keen on the opposition MDC forming a Government of National Unity (GNU) with the ruling Zanu PF party.

Social media has been filled with speculation and allegations that Mwonzora is eyeing the job of Prime Minister when the GNU comes into fruition.

The allegations came after members of the opposition MDC had a spectacular fallout after the Supreme Court ruled that 2018 presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa was not the legitimate leader of the party.

Mwonzora and Morgan Komichi welcomed the judgement but infuriated their erstwhile comrades when they seemed to have advance knowledge of how the court was going to rule. The has resulted in allegations that the two had been conspiring behind the scenes with Zanu PF and President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

However, Mwonzora has categorically denied the claims saying that it was a smear campaign meant to tarnish his good name following the seismic judgement.

In a statement on Sunday, Mwonzora said:

“It has come to my attention that there are WhatsApp chats that have been thrown onto the social media purporting to be coming from me.

“In those chats, an impression is being created that I am in discussions with the government to form a Government of National Unity in which I will be Prime Minister.

“The chats are fake and malicious.

“For the record, my goal is not to be Prime Minister of Zimbabwe.

“My dream is to see a just and prosperous Zimbabwe where people make their political choices freely and without fear. A Zimbabwe free of political acrimony and rancour. The screenshots being circulated are just fake, cheap and malicious. Unintelligently done.
