One of the MDC Alliance principals who spoke to NewsDay said that there are divisions in the coalition concerning joining Zanu-PF for a transitional government.
The principal who spoke to NewsDay said that they are against joining a transitional government. Said the principle:
It will be a mistake to sanitise Zanu PF at the moment. The Alliance is definitely affected by what is happening. There are some in the Alliance who want to be part of this proposed transitional government, while others do not want and this is dividing the coalition. If they go ahead, that is the end of it.
However, MDC Alliance spokesperson Welshman Ncube said principals had made a collective decision to support the transitional arrangement. Said Ncube:
I am not sure where you are getting that sort of nonsense from. There are absolutely no divisions of any descriptions in the MDC Alliance. We had a meeting with all the principals last week on Friday and this issue was debated extensively. In fact, three-quarters of the time at that meeting involved debating that issue on what is the way forward given the circumstances.
