MDC national chairperson Morgan Komichi has said Thokozani Khupe is welcome to return to the party if she is interested in working with the biggest opposition party in the country.

Khupe is fronting a breakaway MDC T party and she insists she is the bona fide leader of the opposition party.

In an interview with a weekly paper Komichi said:”To be honest, everyone in the party did not want Khupe to go. We wanted to be as united as we could and we did all we could do to ensure she remained with us but we could not.

If you recall very well, we sent emissaries to her and we did all we could to bring her to the table
but she just wanted to go.

On the issue of the impact, I think it was not very much because she failed to win a seat directly although she tried by all means to thwart the people’ s project.

I think she did not do herself a favour…We are open and she is a valuable person within the MDC family. As long as she is willing to be part and parcel of the people’s project, she is welcome. If the
party decides that she should come
back, that decision is open. Remember, we once had Welshman Ncube on the other side of the MDC and now we are working together with a view to integrate all our alliance partners, so even Khupe is free to come back.”
