By Paul Nyathi|The Welshman Ncube led MDC says that it remains strongly committed to the opposition coalition the MDC Alliance.

The assurance was made on Monday by the party Spokesperson Kurauone Chihwayi following suspicions by some political critics that Professor Welshman Ncube has cut ties with the MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa.

The suspicions came after Ncube has been missing in the MDC Alliance rallies addressed by Chamisa since the sitting of the nomination court ten days ago.

The six Alliance partners to the Chamisa led MDC-T were left extremely disappointed after the MDC-T left out most of their candidates from contesting elections set for July 30. The MDC-T which was in charge of signing nomination papers for the Alliance candidates dumped at the last minute the Alliance agreement and seconded MDC-T candidates.

“The issue of stolen seats is too small to separate us as an alliance,” said Chihwayi.

“We shall remain united and intact as an alliance.”

Chihwayi explained Ncube’s conspicuous absence at the Chamisa rallies claiming that while Chamisa is busy holding rallies in the Northern region, Ncube was leading similar rallies in the Southern Region a claim which ZimEye.com could not immediately verify.

“The MDC president Professor
Welshman Ncube is in charge of most rallies in the Southern part of the country,” said Chihwayi.

He met candidates,NEC and National standing committee members in two parts of the country where he encouraged them to focus on winning the 2018 elections. We will all vote for the Mdc Alliance Presidential candidate Hon Nelson Chanisa,Mdc alliance MP, Mdc Alliance senator and mdc alliance councillors in our areas,” he said.

“Our eyes are on the ball,there is no plan or hope of pulling out of the Mdc alliance. The Mdc alliance has abundant life and too strong for ZANU PF to destroy,” Chihwayi told ZimEye.com.

Since the start of the MDC Alliance, Ncube has been moving around with Chamisa introducing him at the rallies a function which has since been taken over by MDC-T National Organiser Amos Chibaya. The other Alliance partners have also since stopped appearing at the Alliance rallies.
