MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu confirmed to NewsDay that the party has launched its own countrywide campaign programme despite it being a member of the MDC Alliance which is currently holding rallies as a coalition.
Said Gutu:
Definitely, yes, we are going to have that. We are part and parcel of the MDC Alliance, but as you know, each of the seven political parties in the MDC Alliance retains its separate and distinct identity. The campaign programmes have already been rolled out countrywide and our organising department is now fully seized with this matter. It’s all systems go.
MDC-T secretary general Douglas Mwonzora concurred with Gutu and said that each party retains its identity despite being part of the coalition. Said Mwonzora:
In terms of the alliance agreement, each party retains its identity while working in the alliance so we have party programmes specific to MDC only. We will also have alliance programmes too. The alliance hasn’t collapsed our political parties into one so we will have our own programmes as well. We are also encouraging our members to work with the alliance partners in the wards and constituencies in order to gauge the level of support of each party.
