Tsvangirai denies Mujuru's claims that they have made a deal for a grand coalition

MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has denied claims by National People’s Party leader Joice Mujuru that the two parties have signed a memorandum of understanding. Last week Mujuru told her supporters that she had signed a MoU with Tsvangirai for a grand coalition.

In a statement, Tsvangirai’s spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka said:

I wish to state that president Tsvangirai has not signed an agreement or a memorandum of understanding with anyone, even though he is currently engaged in fruitful discussions with several political parties, including the NPP.

Once the process of alliance talks and engagements is complete, president Tsvangirai will update party organs and the people of Zimbabwe on the outcome. We are alive to the fact that both these coalition talks and the next election are not about Robert Mugabe, Morgan Tsvangirai or any other political leader for that matter.
