Mutambara: The @MDCAllianceZW never operated as a united opposition force as Alliance partners were sidelined by the bigger @mdczimbabwe

Mutambara: What mattered most to the MDC leadership was the regrouping of the former MDC colleagues (@BitiTendai & @Welshman_Ncube )the other four were regarded as cheer partners to be used conveniently to project a picture of a grand coalition.

Mutambara: Whilst its true elections were rigged in favour of @ZANUPF_Official it's also true the margin of victory for the Alliance was narrowed through undemocratic practices and underhand dealings by the big brother.

Mutambara: After elections half hearted efforts to turn the Alliance into a single party became a ploy to turn the fringe parties into a recruiting ground for the MDC.

Mutambara says the chance to turn the Alliance into a formidable political power was lost due to political chicanery by the @mdczimbabwe leadership.

Mutambara: Within @ZimPeopleFirst there was divided opinion on whether to disband and join the @MDCAllianceZW or continue as a standalone.

Mutambara: As President of @ZimPeopleFirst and acting in the best interests of the party i refused to endorse the decision(to fully join @MDCAllianceZW)

Mutambara: @ZimPeopleFirst must put people at the centre and fulcrum of its policies and political discourse.
