Joice Mujuru, Dumiso Dabengwa and Tendai Biti have formed a coalition that will challenge Zanu-PF in Matebeleland in 2018. This has raised fears that the MDC Alliance which Biti is a signatory to has split.
Zapu, National People’s Party (NPP) and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said they will not contest each other for any parliamentary seats in Matabeleland and urged other political parties to join for a broader coalition. PDP secretary general, Gorden Moyo told NewsDay that the three political parties are finalising terms of working together.
