MDC-T is not heading for a split says Obert Gutu

MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu has dismissed speculation that his party is heading for a split after a fallout between vice-president Thokozani Khupe and party president Morgan Tsvangirai over the issue of the coalition MDC Alliance. Said Gutu:

The MDC is not heading for a split. We are very mature and responsible politicians who are capable of amicably resolving whatever differences that we might have among ourselves.
Let me make it abundantly clear that the MDC Alliance is the new game in town it is irreversible,” he said, adding that the party’s leadership was currently in consultations to resolve the impasse.

As party leaders, we are meeting and discussing our different opinions and believe you me, at the end of the day, we are all going to agree on the need for a formidable coalition to face Zanu PF in next year’s elections. These are just teething challenges. You shouldn’t read too much into this episode. It’s just a passing phase. Trust me.
