MDC-T will not take part in the 2018 general polls if the Zanu (PF) government fails to bow to increasing calls for electoral reforms says MDC-T president, Morgan Tsvangirai. He made the bold statement over the weekend while addressing thousands of unemployed citizens at the party’s rally in the city’s populous suburb of Mkoba.
“No reforms no elections. Let them rule. We have come to realise that the popular party (MDC-T) is not in government. It is rather the unpopular party Zanu (PF) that is in power but without the people’s mandate. Why is that so? The answer is simple and it is because we have allowed ourselves to be involved in these sham elections. Now we have learnt from our mistakes and we will not take part in any future elections without reforms that all, including us, can endorse,” said Tsvangirai.
Recently the MDC-T national executive committee and national council endorsed the party’s position to boycott the June 10 by-elections occasioned by the recall of 21 MDC Renewal MPs last month. Fourteen parliamentary seats mostly in Harare and Bulawayo will be contested.
Tsvangirai said his party wouldgo into the constituencies where the by-elections will be held and urge the party’s supporters to stay away. “We have resolved to visit those areas and urge our supporters to popularise the slogan ‘No reforms, No Elections.’ That way we are satisfied Zanu (PF) will finally realise the importance of the necessary reforms.”
MDC-T is demanding access to the electronic version of the voters roll. They also demand equal and unfettered access to the public electronic and print media. The party also wants traditional leaders to desist from intimidating voters and ensure that MDC-T supporters in rural areas are allowed to attend political meetings of their choice. The party also complains of indirect intimidation of MDC-T supporters by state security agents in urban areas – particularly in high density suburbs.
Some political commentators say the party will dent its support base, especially in areas where it has held sway in the past decade, if it does not contest the polls. Others have pointed out that the party has sold out to Zanu (PF). On the other hand, others say the MDC-T is right in its boycott as participating would legitimise the flawed electoral process, the predetermined outcome of which would not benefit the nation at large anyway. zimbabwean

I am tired of false hopes, false promises, false dreams, false vision, false reformation, false chage from MT and crew. Bigger boss… look at history calmly and objectively. MT has failed habitually. Now his folowers promise mob rule. That is exactly what the USA wants. MOB rule, then out of the chaos brings a usa brings neo colonialism where we are told that adultery is sexy, being gay is progressive, single parents are cool, violence is ok and all cultural values and norms are destroyed.

Kurega kuvhota ? Fine it’s indeed a sound plan but vanhu vanorohwa kana vasina kupenda chigumwe. Todini kana zvozodai? Eh tiudzei sevakuru kuti todii zvisaitika. Better kufunga zvekuita nekutora matano ikozvino kwete kungozotorwa mapics muri mumahospital muchiona vanhu vaitwa kafira mberi. Hapana asingazivi maiitiro ezanu towards/during elections but mdc allows that all the time without coming up of with any plan to put a stop to this practice haa wake up mhani ! Mvura yava kuuya kana muchironga mrongawo nemapako ekuzohwanda kana yaturuka. Vezanhu vakangwara vari kuto veza tsvimbo in preparation for elections

Well MT, you have stood on your principles. Now….. how hurt will zanu be? In my estimation very little. They will definitely gain seats. If any party such as renewal contests they will claim legitimacy. If no one contests they will be a one party state. With Russia, China, Iran, Radical islam tensions, – the USA, Europe will have no will to conflict with Mugabe. Instead they will attempt to charm him as they have been doing with Cuba and china. Mugabe has won the sanctions battle where smith and Rhodesia lost. No matter his unpopuarity you cannot dispute his iron will to take command of the nations resources. For this he not only deserves respect but it will bring him solid votes from people who appreciate what he has done. MT and MDC will be pushed towards obscurity. It could fade from history books as other also-ran parties have [zanu ndonga, muzorewa, Rhodesia front]. MT resign and let others come up with a solid strategy.
