MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai and one of his deputies, Nelson Chamisa, last week travelled to Kenya where they met with Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga to build a global coalition against manipulation of elections.
Speaking to NewsDay, Chamisa confirmed the visit and said:
We travelled to Kenya to build a global coalition against manipulation of elections, not just in Zimbabwe, but the whole African continent.
Odinga was among some of the various leaders we met when we were in Kenya,” Chamisa said.
The tragedy we have on the continent is of disputed elections and to that end, efforts are afoot to mobilise international and global solidarity for free and fair elections, not only in the Sadc region, but also East Africa.
Odinga leads a coalition of opposition parties in Kenya in a bid to topple Uhuru Kenyatta from the Presidency in next month’s elections while the MDC-T is engaging other parties with the view of establishing a coalition to field one candidate in the 2018 elections.
